Parking Lot Bingo!
The Lighthouse Team attended a “Parking Lot Bingo” at the Schertz Senior Center in August. The event took place in the parking lot of the Schertz Senior Center where participants played 5 rounds of Bingo in the safety of their cars. The participants tuned into the radio station 97.1 to hear the numbers being announced, staff members from the Lighthouse also assisted by writing the numbers out on large white boards around the parking lot. Whenever an individual got a bingo they would honk their horn to alert a volunteer to come check their card. If the individual did indeed have a bingo, a volunteer would provide them with a prize sponsored by the Lighthouse. All the volunteers had masks on and were maintaining social distancing, so it was a perfect event to get individuals out of their homes safely during this pandemic. The Lighthouse staff had so much fun getting to partake in such an innovative event that was able to bring the
community together during these trying times.
Aid the Silent Visits the Lighthouse!
The Lighthouse met with another San Antonio nonprofit, Aid the Silent to help them with their capital campaign this year! Aid the Silent is a Texas-based nonprofit that helps deaf and hard-of-hearing children and teens receive equal access to opportunity by providing financial assistance to enhance communication methods; gain access to education resources; and to improve their overall health, both mental and physical, that leads to individual growth socially, educationally and spiritually.
Base Supply Center
Our Fort Worth team have really stepped up during this last quarter by processing a huge deployment package for their host Wing. The attached pictures capture just how big a deal this was!
