One of Deka’s firefighters, Dave Gardner received a welcome Christmas bonus when he won the Ladies Auxiliary Bingo Super G total prize of $689 on Dec. 13.
And then, would you believe, the generous gentleman donated $500 of it to Interlakes Christmas Giftboxes, just in time for their shopping expedition! Warmest thanks, Dave, from the entire community.

Bingo will be back over spring break, March 21 and 28.
