April 29, 2010 - Fourth annual gala was another great success.
Two hundred people filled Le Living Room to play bingo. More than 700 prizes were given away and there was a great energy in the room. Andrew Carter did a great job once again as bingo caller and Ruby Belson, as always, was raffle caller extraordinaire. We want to thank everyone for their support and allowing us to continue helping so many children with The Mack Belson Early Academic Intervention Program and The Mack Belson Reading Camp. We could not do it without you.
