Anaconda, MT–Anaconda JCCCC Student Government Association (SGA), Young Adult Service Corps (YASC) and volunteer students help the Anaconda Elementary PTSA at its extremely successful Bingo Night fundraiser. 

The event was held to benefit the project to rebuild the playground at Lincoln Elementary School.  It so well attended and supported that the Association will be able to begin phase 1 of the project in hopes of having some of the new playground equipment installed by the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.

Pictured above is the upper floor at the Elks Lodge where the event was packed with community supporters and lined with games and prizes.

YASC student, Daniel Bowden, advertises 50/50 tickets at one arms length for $5.  Two additional AJCCCC student volunteers, Sean Lippiat and Gary Lean, stand to Bowden’s right as they also assist the PTSA with ticket sales.
