Bingo begins at 5:30 on February 18

We're so excited that Bingo has been so well received in the Middleton community that we've decided to ramp up the fun!

Starting on February 18, the doors will open at 5:00 p.m. An early bird session will begin at 5:30 and regular Bingo mania will begin at 6:00.

We've added hot dogs, nachos and more to our menu. Come early, have a bite to eat and enjoy your friends and neighbors and maybe, just maybe, you'll take home some cool cash.

Proceeds will benefit Optimist Club projects in the Middleton Area community. Among other things, we're working with the Middleton Parks & Recreation District to bring free movies to the park.

Many thanks to the Middleton Parks & Rec District and the Middleton Rural Fire District for their support.

Say bingo to free movies

We're planning for great things in the new year and hope that you will get involved. As an Optimist Club member or community member, you can help us raise funds to present free movies in Foote Park this summer.

We're partnering the Greater Middleton Parks and Recreation Department to deliver movies on a giant screen for your enjoyment.

Join us for bingo on January 21, February 18 and March 17 at the Middleton Fire Station. Cash prizes will be awarded. You must be over 18 years to participate.

Do you want to provide service to others and make life-long friendships in the process? Are you looking for a way to improve your self confidence and leadership skills?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you should join the Middleton Area Optimist Club. Drop by our new meeting location, the Middleton Fire Station, beginning Monday, January 9, 6:30 p.m. or call Linda at 208.861.2310 to learn more. We hope to see you soon!
