Wow! That sounds exciting Jay. I wish you would do a
training for neighborhood groups on how to raise money
from charitable gambling. I think Bingo night could
be a great community building event.
It is important for neighborhoods to be creative in
raising funds to support the organization.

While working for a neighborhood organization in Chicago, I was in
charge of running a weekly bingo that netted $30,000 a year.
My organization ran a total of five bingos, pulling in a total of around
$150,000 from bingo alone. They raised 70% of their total budget
through grassroots fundraising

fully describes the situation at CNIA.

It was my suggestion and efforts to hold 'Benefit Boogie' in the
Old Fire House on the West Bank, 1975. We got Willie Murphy and Bees to
play for free and took in $1100.00. But then a local neighborhood mugwug
just took the money and walked, I never heard a thing of where it went or
