Clinton resident Dina Connon was the lucky winner of the Lac la Hache Community Club's bingo progressive pot on May 21.
She won $3,000 on the 56th number called – just one number before the cutoff of 57.
The next progressive pot started at 49 numbers on May 28, with a starting amount of $1,200.
The community club is always looking for volunteers to help out at bingo once in a while. Contact Barb Hansen at 250-396-7567 if you can lend a hand.
Coffee house
The next Community Coffee House music event is on June 6 at the Lac la Hache Pioneer Centre.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with entertainment going from 7 to 9 p.m.
Organizer Pastor Bruce Wilcox says there has been an amazing response to this evening of local musicians playing and singing a mix of bluegrass, gospel, folk and country tunes. There could also be some poetry reading.
There is no cost, coffee and goodies are provided free. A voluntary donation can be made and these funds go towards charity.
For more information or if you would like to be part of the entertainment, contact Wilcox at 250-396-4100.
