Upcoming Events
BINGO NIGHT
PTK is going to host one hour of Bingo twice a month at University Place Care Center on Bridgeport Way W.(www.soundcareinc.com/page2.html) We will be responsible for bringing prizes and snacks, and for running the bingo game which the care facility provides. The residents there really enjoy it, and it sounds like a good time for all of us too.
If you can't afford the time we will gladly accept cash donations, just a few dollars goes a long way. If you donate at least $5 you are eligable to buy a Phi Theta Kappa T-shirt for just $5 (that's below cost).
Contact Kristi Henderson to sign up for dates that are available (listed below). We would like to have at least 4 people helping each night we are there.
