Bingo night

Please join us on May 17th from 7pm until 9pm at Grace Episcopal Church in Martinez. Back by popular demand, we will be providing Mexican Food and Margaritas. This event is open to the public so bring your spouses, partners and friends. Proceeds will go to support Contra Costa Parks to help improve children's playgrounds and to the East Bay Children's Book Project which helps build literacy by putting books into the hands of children who have little or no access to them.
$20.00 gets you 4 bingo cards. Bring a PLAYING non-member and receive an additional card for free. Payment is due at the event but please register by going to the event calendar so we can get an accurate count for Mexican Food and Margaritas.
We have prizes for everyone including family outings, children's classes, restaurants and massages. ALSO, we will be raffling the following prizes:

• Imagine That Photography - one outdoor portrait session including (3) 8x10 or (1) 11x14 photograph
• Encore Gymnastics - four Rocktopie indoor climbing day passes, 2 tumble tickets, 2 parent's time off event tickets and a jump rope
• Castle Rock Arabians - a gift certificate good for three private lessons
• Renaissance Club Sport - one weekend night stay including valet parking

Raffle tickets are $5.00 each or $20.00 for 5 tickets. Tickets can be purchased and dropped into jars representing specific prizes. If you are unable to attend the event but are interested in participating in the raffle, please e-mail Jennifer Martell. (jennifer.martell@yahoo.com)

Your generous support for Bingo last May earned Contra Costa Parents of Multiples over $800.00 which we have donated to Children's Specialty Care Center of Walnut Creek, a division of Children's Hospital of Oakland.  
The money we raised will be used towards Child Life Specialists who help bridge the gap between home, school and the hospital with age appropriate activities designed to help children understand and feel a sense of comfort while at the hospital.
This program features highly trained and certified Child Life Specialists who promote growth and awareness through therapeutic play, education and self expression.  Children's Specialty Care Center is the ONLY medical center in Contra Costa County with a dedicated staff of Child Life Specialist who use medical play to help kids prepare for surgery and other medical procedures that can be frightening and uncomfortable.  This donation will help expand their educational resources to include interactive programs on iPads.
