Thanks to the Platte Valley Legacy Committee for the Bingo prizes and soda. We also wish to thank the Ryan Park Fire Department for a donation of soda for Bingo. We also want to thank Bill Baker for the donation of quarters for Bingo. Anyone else wishing to donate Bingo quarters will be greatly appreciated. We are always in need of small stuffed animals as Bingo prizes.

We greatly appreciate the continued support of our volunteers throughout the week. Anyone wishing to become a volunteer, please contact Tom Mansfield, Activity Director, at the facility.
