Rotary Club Of Towne Lake To Host Inaugural Designer Purse Bingo

WOODSTOCK, GA -- The Towne Lake Rotary Foundation will host a fundraising event – a first of its kind in the area – March 22 at His Hands Church, 550 Molly Lane in Woodstock.

Designer Purse Bingo is popular in the northeast and historically yields a great turnout, providing much-needed funds for charitable purposes.

"Each fall, we host a golf tournament that people have a great time at, but we also wanted to think
outside the box for a new spring fundraiser," Andrew Mulvihill, president of the Rotary Club of Towne Lake and owner of Autossey Automotive in Woodstock, said in a release. "Our board has gone through great lengths to prepare for this event, including securing a state Bingo permit, which included background checks and interviews by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. This event can accommodate 300-400 people, so we hope you join us for a fun Friday night out raising money for our community."

Sponsorships starting at $150 are available, and players can participate for $40. The ticket price includes Bingo cards and a drink ticket. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. March 22. Registration can be done online and more information can be found on Facebook.

Money raised from Designer Purse Bingo supports Never Alone, Turnaround Ministries, Ferst Readers of Cherokee County, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch and Bascomb Elementary. While Rotary Club of Towne Lake financially supports these organizations, members can be found volunteering with the local organizations, including delivering meals to Colbert Square, a low-income senior housing establishment in Woodstock, every month.

On a larger level, the Rotary Club of Towne Lake is part of Rotary International, an organization of more than 1.2 million people worldwide dedicated to service in their community. The organization as a whole, and supported by its members, is close to eradicating polio in the world. While most don’t see polio as a concern anymore, there are still three countries in the world with endemic status. Since launching the campaign to end polio in 1988, Rotary International has reduced the number of cases by 99.99 percent.

The Rotary Club of Towne Lake meets each Thursday at noon at The Tavern at Towne Lake, 1003 Towne Lake Hills South, Woodstock. Learn more about the Club on Facebook or online.
