BINGO!

Hola, #MyComadres.

Our first annual Comadrazo and Game Night was a huge success!

We played bingo all night and everyone went home a winner.  We must admit that some of the Comadres got creative when we ran out of marking chips.  See photos below.

Next outing is a Dinner and a Movie on July 19 (Thursday).  Watch your email for the particulars.

Happy Summer!
