Bingo Is thier biggest moneymaker which is a great thing for charity.... BUT......Let's call a spade a spade .....you have the same group of people volunteering for every event..... it's the same click over and over and others are not welcome unless you, How should I put it, kiss up to them..... I Recently joined this group....worked very hard on a project....i think it's safe to say I was responsible for at least 50% of it being successful... The members knew about this project for months, ¹ but this was down to The Wire in less than 30 days it was supposed to be completed....I Spent over $600 of my own money and countless hours.. Then when I had a disagreement with 2 of the people in the click, I was thrown out . No evidence was looked at....my side wasn't heard
... there was no one to come to my aid.. When I tried to defend myself I was told That I was arguing.... Stay away from this club ...start your own I think it only takes 10 people to start your own.... this club's going to be extinct anyway because of the age of the members and their refusal to come up with new ways to attract new members and the fact that like I said there's only this click running it... they run the bingo which brings in a ton of money so that's a good thing, but as far as being included or feeling like a family look somewhere else... This click is just looking to be put on a pedestal... Most are retired so this is their gig like I said not even all of them participate to a very large extent except to show up for their twice monthly lunches.... I've discussed this in private and people agree with me but they won't speak up because the same thing would happen to them... Like I said start your own fun group there's plenty of ways to make money if you just think about the goal of the organization and let these people have their fun with their bingo... And their pancakes it's what keeps them busy like I said this is just the click that's doing this and their motives are suspect.... I should mention there was one person that I think was sincere She sold tickets at bingo... I should also mention the 1st day I went to a meeting I was left sitting alone at a table and not 1 person came up to welcome me.. Except for the click. Maybe this gives you a taste of how I was treated... I went on an event they couldn't find anyone else.. there were 3 of us in the car it was over a 2 hour trip and the 2 in the front (from the click) didn't Include me include me in any of their conversations I tried to enter in and they pretended like they didn't even hear me.. I said something about it to them, but they kept on ignoring me.. The same thing happened on the way back.. They were talking the entire way back and she was driving 90 miles an hour... If any of you try to defend yourselves over this post remember You're supposed to be church goers and God knows the truth. I hope you think about how much you hurt me and what you do to other people while you're sitting there at church..
