Glorious Giving
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2015/12 - December
Be sure to join the Macon County Sheriff’s Office for Rotary Bingo on Thursday evening, December 3, as they raise funds to make Christmas brighter for needy children in our county. Not only will you have a fun evening, but you’ll be putting smiles on the faces of youngsters.
Sure bingo is fun every month and the funds raised throughout the year go to support many deserving non-profits in our area but December’s Shop with a Cop Bingo seems to have even
more meaning.
Games start at 6:30 P.M. For only $15 you can enjoy a full night of 15 games of bingo (one card per game). All proceeds from this month’s bingo go to the Shop with a Cop Program, which allows youngsters to go shopping for presents for their family.
During intermission, Santa will find his way to the Highlands Community Building (next door to the ball park on US 64) to the excited cheers of everyone there. Many of the generous bingo players return their winnings to make sure that there are dollars aplenty to underwrite this program. Win or lose, you’ll have fun and make a difference in the community.
Sherriff Robbie Holland urges everyone to come out to support this worthwhile event. 2015 will be the 15th year that Sheriff’s Department personnel have given under-privileged children in the area the chance to experience the true meaning of Christmas. Law enforcement officers accompany the youngsters on a shopping spree and then share lunch together in a fun-filled day.
Why not be a Table Sponsor? For a simple $50 donation your name (or the name of your business) will be shown on each of the tables. Call the Sheriff’s Department at (828) 349-2104 to tell them that you want to be a sponsor. If you’re not able to play bingo but would like to donate, please mail checks to the Macon County Sheriff’s Office, 1820 Lakeside Drive,
Franklin, NC 28734.
