A few months ago, I learned about a bingo hall in Dunbar that raises money for the local schools.



It is apparently a big draw in the area every Saturday evening. And, they are really serious about it. I'm not sure if you've ever been to a bingo hall, but it was my first time. And, I learned that there are many more ways to hit bingo than I realized, and there are many more games than I knew.



For example, there are games within games, you can get bingo by not having boxes in a row, and there's something called tips that I still don't exactly understand. Despite that, my friend Beth and I had a fun time chatting with the other folks, fumbling our way through the game and dodging the indoor smokers.



But, one perk of the outing was a homemade dinner available for purchase. On this day, it was lasagna with salad and garlic bread. It was a little dried out by the time I got my plate, but it was still a decent meal with money that goes to a good cause.
