Bingo Jamboree

[iluvslots]

The second annual Bingo Jamboree in Savannah GA brought 700 senior citizens together. They played all day at the Savannah Civic Center.

Senior citizens came from 24 different centers from the area.

Seniors gathered to interact, and try to win prizes. It was alot of fun for all to have. The prizes was anything from plants, toiletries, gift certificates, and crystal vases.

There was even entertainment there from the Savannah High School Band.

I think that is so cool. It gives them a chance to get out, meet people and have something to look forward to once a year. I hope they keep this Bingo Jamboree going every year.

Bingo has always been a great game for the elderly,it is exciting and fun,as well as being a social game,which is good for elderly people.I played bingo for the first time when I was a little girl with my grandmother.She used to play every single week,you knew something was wrong if she missed a day playing Bingo.

The old bingo call sign for number nine - doctor's orders - is true of the game itself, a study found.
Bingo makes you think faster than non-players and keeps you more alert into old age, a researcher told a British Psychological Society conference.
