The meetup was an interesting experience--definitely never would have thought that I would get so excited over Bingo, that's for sure. Had fun with the veterans and felt like what we did had real purpose.

Hanging out with the US Vets playing Bingo, having cool conversation, ice cream and watching the youth band was an awesome experience! Everyone had such a great time and the Vets and even employees at the facility loved it! It was a great experience to connect with the Vets...meet new people....and everyone had a great time! The youth rock band was AWESOME! And, some of the Vets I spoke with were telling me..that they all said that they love Bingo! It's one of their favorite games to play there! I know they appreciated it...I appreciated the experience as well. So, thank you for this awesome event! I look forward to future events coming up! SPREADKINDNESS! :)

It was a nice way of spending a Saturday. The vets seemed to enjoy the event so much, especially the ice cream and the company. And, I certainly wouldn't get between one of them and their bingo game!
