Red White and Blue BINGO for the Lambda Center

This month, BINGO at Icepics is raising money for the Lambda Phoenix Center!

Since it's inspiration in 1980, Lambda has grown to provide safe space for over 39 meetings and over 8 types of recovery. Lambda provides space for people in the LGBT community to attend a wide variety of 12-step fellowships for alcoholics, drug and nicotine addicts, the family and friends of alcoholics, overeaters, and compulsive gamblers.

In the last 3 weeks we have raised over $425 for the center, and we would like to double that, so come on out next Monday for the final week of Lambda month at Big Hat Bingo, hosted by Postulant Honey B. Drippin and the Grand Canyon Sisters! Last night it was great to see Postulants Honey and Bearie out in face for the first time!

Felicity N. Debaucheri took her Novice vows, and her next step towards becoming a fully professed Sister. It was touching to see so many friends there to share in her public vows, and so many Sisters in that small space to practically saturate every corner. Crrrrrrazyy!

Between helping run BINGO, chatting with amazing community members, and We really had a blast, I hope all the friends and family did as well. It sure seemed like it. Each week seems a little more exciting, and that's a good thing!

Don't forget to wear your big hats to get the 2 for 1 drink special next monday. Remember, the more cards you buy, the more chances you have to win fun and fabulous prizes from funnel cake and ice cone makers to limo rides, game or concert tickets, you never know what those prizes may be! And take care not to call BINGO mistakenly, you never know just what may happen. Tho this Birthday boy didn't seem to mind his birthday spankings one bit ;)
