Evelyn Fayne was reading the April Bingo Bugle from cover to cover like she does every month when she got to page 11 to check the trivia answers and was surprised to see her name as April’s Sweepstakes winner. Evelyn has been playing bingo since the late 1970’s when she would go with her mother Ethel and that was all it took. She fell in love with Bingo! Evelyn plays weekly sometimes at St Bernadette also at Elk’s 46. She likes playing the progressive jackpot games and says if she wins, she just might use those winnings to go on the Bingo Bugle Cruise. People watching is one of her favorite things to do at the bingo hall, the different hats, clothing as well as the lucky mementoes people have around them bring a smile to her face. Evelyn’s words of wisdom “If you didn’t win today there’s always tomorrow!“ St. Bernadette, 8200 West Denver Avenue in Milwaukee, has a long tradition of hosting bingo. In fact, they were issued one of the first 200 licenses

Above: Evelyn Fayne (Left) receives her prize check from Sue Degenhardt (Right), St Bernadette 8200 W Denver Avenue Milwaukee. They play Bingo every Sunday starting at 5:00 PM. See their ad with all the details on Page 7 of this Bingo Bugle. in the State of Wisconsin. First run as a fundraiser for St. Bernadette School, the parish took over running bingo after our school merged with St. Catherine of Alexandria and Our Lady of Good Hope’s schools. Since then, the money raised has helped St. Bernadette Parish with extraordinary expenses, including improvements and repairs to their building
and HVAC systems, parking lot repairs, roof repairs, and new tables in the parish hall. Their bingo volunteers and the players have made a difference at their parish, and they are grateful for each and every one of them! On most Sundays of the year (other than holiday weekends), St. Bernadette offers bingo players two bingo sessions with
prizes totaling $1,250 for each session, as well as a progressive bingo session. The doors open at 3:30pm, and the first ball is called at 5:00pm. It’s a good idea to arrive early to take advantage of the variety of concessions offered for sale. A typical menu includes hot dogs, burgers, and brats, and we will sometimes offer a special menu item which can vary. Desserts and non-alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase. While you are waiting for the games to begin, you can participate in their money raffle, purchase pull tabs, and get to know the great community of players and volunteers. Sunday nights at St. Bernadette are fun-filled evenings for everyone. Other parish events and activities include faithbased book reads, bible study, a holiday fair, rummage sale, health classes and fish fries. Check out our website at www.nwmcp.org for Mass times and other events. They look forward to seeing you soon.
