  1. Christina,

    Do you happen to know if there is ever bingo at the Lebanese Maronite Church? If so, when is it? Because I hope they serve food. I really like there food and they seem like a nice community. I guess my money goes to a good cause?

    At their next festival or public event, I will buy you lunch. I'll find you and it will be on me. Cool?

    1. I think bingo happens there on Tuesday evenings. The church bulletin mentions a bingo committee, but doesn't list the days or times. I have no idea what, if any, food they offer. I assume money from bingo goes to church upkeep and programs, as it does with most churches. I'll ask around when I get the chance though.

      Your offer of lunch is very kind and appreciated. Thanks.
