On the first Thursday of every month between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM, for over 37 years a dedicated group of parishioners from our church has volunteered and provided recreational therapy to disabled military veterans in Lexington's VA hospitals.  We play Bingo (as you've never seen it played before) for quarters which the vet's use to purchase sodas, snacks or other items from the Canteen.  We bring sandwiches, snacks, desserts and drinks to share after the games.  While playing Bingo, we provide our ears to listen to their stories and sometimes their frustrations in a caring, nonjudgmental fellowship that provides us all with a little dose of nourishment for the soul.  Our games are played on their Mental/Behavioral Health ward.  With 6 years of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan we are seeing more and more young vet's on the ward, many of them in their 20's.  VA Bingo is held on Ward 4 South at the Lexington Veteran's Hospital at 1101 Veterans Drive (off Cooper Drive).  We meet outside the ward and enter as a group.  We'd really love to have you join us!  Bring a roll of quarters and something to eat (we always need sugar-free items as many are diabetic) or drink (no caffeine allowed).  Even if you can’t join us, donations to our “Bingo Quarter Fund” are always greatly appreciated.
