The All New 2014 Bingo Life Calendar is now available HERE.

This year the calendar is featuring Bingo Definitions from the creative mind of Sherman Goodrich. After 6 years, there is no doubt that these calendars are a player, and bingo hall favorite, all over the country and in Canada.

And with group, deadline buying power, they are easily affordable for even the  smallest halls.

And because of the great success of the free 2’ x 3’ promotional posters offered last year, they will be provided again this year with every order to help put

‘butts in the seats’.
