    There is Bingo and now, there is Bingo 2.0 with Sealina Moore. We are shaking things up a bit by offering a different Bingo experience each month.In May, we’re going to play Jukebox Bingo where you’ll look for the song being played on your bingo cards instead of numbers or pictures. Music from the 70s, 80s, Motown, country and more! In June, Bingo will be all about Summer!  There will be snacks, socializing, decorations and prizes each month. Give it a try! (Please note: this does not replace the Monday Bingo that takes place here at Next on a regular basis.) Generously sponsored by Guiding Light Care Angels.
