The Palatine American Legion Auxiliary Post 690 is hosting bingo and holding a bake sale on Sunday, April 14th which is open to the public from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM at the American Legion Hall 122 West Palatine Road in Palatine to raise funds for Legion Family Charities.

“We will be playing bingo from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM with an early bird game at 12:45 PM,” said Judy Kyska, Auxiliary President.  “The doors will open at Noon.  There will be game booklets and special cards with cash prizes for each game.  Come on out and see if you can cash in as well as support our charities.”

During bingo the auxiliary will have hot dogs, chips and coffee available.  “If someone has a sweet tooth, we will also be holding a bake sale during bingo,” said Kyska.  “You will be able to sample some of our delicious baked goods while you are playing bingo or you can bring something home for the family.”
