Another Successful Holiday Bingo!

The 4th annual Hornet Hive Holiday Bingo was held last Saturday at Chicken N Pickle’s Holiday Hideaway. We sold 67 bingo tickets and 894 raffle tickets, raising almost $3000 to support Northtown’s students and staff! Thank you to Chris Kamler, our intrepid bingo caller; Karen Martinez-Quintana and Catrena Minniefield, who helped with the raffle prizes; and Amy Comer and Amy Nelson, who helped the event run smoothly.
