Bingo anyone?

Seniors have met at Community Health Professionals for nine years to lunch and play bingo, but this week's gathering was the last one sponsored by Richland Manor Nursing Home.

Here, Donna Shadley and Dorothy Clum spin the wheel to see who might win the jackpot.

Although Richland Manor is giving up the weekly Bingo sponsorship for seniors, never fear. Community Health Professionals has agreed to host and sponsor the event in the future.

The weekly lunch and bingo will resume at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays beginning in January.
