[NFB-Talk] Bingo

Wed Oct 13 20:38:01 UTC 2021

Hi all. First off, let me say that I think this is a wonderful thing to 
do. The Houston chapter of the NFB of Texas held a virtual BINGO 
tournament in June this year, and we are holding another one this coming 
Saturday. Huge thanks go out to Steve Cook for sending a few folks our 
way to play bingo. If my schedule allows, I will certainly join South 
Carolina to play bingo with them.

Now, as to Kaye's question, I would be happy to assist you or anyone 
else make your own bingo cards in Excel or some other form. Just write 
me directly at rgallegos at nfbtx.org and let's set up a time and I will 
make it happen. Just to be transparent, I'm quite busy this month with 
assisting our state affiliate prepare for our state convention on 
November 5, but I can make time to help a few folks with this if interested.

Take care everyone.
