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.

Just write me directly at rgallegos at nfbtx.org <mailto: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.
