IHADLA Bingo Fundraiser Gratitude

November 24, 2014

Please accept our gratitude to everyone who contributed their time, prizes, and/or cash at our Bingo Fundraiser. Attendees had a great time. If you couldn’t make it this time, we hope you’ll be able to attend our next event.

Scandal’s Katie Lowes and her husband Adam Shapiro of The Mysteries of Laura did a wonderful job hosting. Bingo-Boy and his outrageous sidekick, Roxie Wood, kept things moving along smoothly.
