School Principal Ron Burris holds up a stack of bingo cards.
Lino Lakes Elementry STEM school recently held a Turkey Bingo event. Despite a snow storm, the turnout was a healthy 300 ranging from newborn babies to grandparents. School board member Dan Kieger joined the fun in agreeing to be the caller. Keiger ran approximately 10 games and even let the kids call out some of the numbers. The canned good donations from attendees as well as donated gift cards and turkeys were collected to create Thanksgiving dinners for local Forest Lake families in need. The Boy Scouts were on site selling wreaths (and also assisting in clean up) and event organizers Melissa Thibault and Katrina Bastyr organized a “Christmas cards to the troops” table to make local soldiers feel more at home overseas this Christmas.
