Hear Ye, Hear Ye . . . the Fall 2011 AV&G Bingo Interest thread has begun!
It has been TOO hot, and TOO dry (for me) all summer, and the weather has had me bummed the whole time.
I have therefore decided . . . it is time for Bingo!
Now, for those of you who have not played Bingo with me before, if I do say so myself . . . I run a mean game of Bingo . . . and I mean that in the nice way! The way I figure it, it is still hot in most of the country. But, by the time about 2 weeks goes by for interest/sign-up, then at least a month to play the game . . . by the time everything is said and Bingo'd, the weather will be cool enough to ship any prizes that may contain live plant material . . .
So, with that in mind, please let me know if you are interested! I will start a list of names as they come in here on this post, then will post the How's & Why's this weekend . . .
If someone would like to donate a prize, please dmail me with details. Only broad details will be given on this thread regarding prizes – 2 $20.00 prizes, plant of choice, surprise package, etc. Prizes will be labeled as #1, #2, #3, etc.(not necessarily in the order they are listed below). Once the “bingo” calls begin, the Bingo person will choose a number, and will be awarded the prize assigned to that number. The person donating the prize will be notified via dmail with delivery info . . .
Bingo prizes donated so far:
* $10.00
* $25 or $25 gift certificate to vendor of choice
* Surprise
* plant or plants

Jannich has volunteered to be the Card Holder for this game . . . each participant should submit their “card” with 25 choices to her no later than September 30, 2011, so you have time to look over the list!
We will be playing for a Bingo "blackout" - where all 25 plants on your "card" need to be called before you can call Bingo. There will be 1-2 calls made per day, with some "bonus" calls made throughout the month. It is up to each player to keep up their cards and call Bingo! (now, if someone goes out of town during the game for whatever reason, arrangements can be made to have someone else manage your card while you are away).
Bingo WILL begin on Saturday, October 1, 2011 . . .
If anyone has any questions, please ask!
