LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Literacy Coalition is planning its second annual Bingo Fun for  Literacy event on Saturday, March 22.

It will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Lakeport Senior Center, 527 Konocti Ave.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. Last year’s Bingo Fun for Literacy was well-attended, so come early for the best seating.

The event will feature the center’s lighted Bingo board, with Laura McAndrews Sammel acting as bingo caller.

There will be many more chances to win this year, with bingo game prizes, door prizes, great silent auction options and a live dessert auction, all to support the worthy cause of promoting literacy in Lake County.

The proceeds support the training of volunteers to tutor local individuals and families in reading and writing.

Not only does the program address the alarming fact that one out of five people in this county struggle with low literacy, but literacy tutoring strengthens the talent pool of Lake County.

To play Bingo Fun for Literacy, bring $25 for multiple games; credit cards will be accepted. Additional cards can be purchased for the games.  You must be 18 years of age to play.
 
Food and drink are available for purchase including barbecue pulled chicken sandwiches, nachos, coleslaw, popcorn, chips, cookies, water, soft drinks, beer and wine. Coffee will be provided free of charge.
