Play Bingo with Sylvia O’Stayformore, DonnaTella Howe, and Friends

Seriously, bingo. At the Senior Center of West Seattle. Look at that photo, it’s not senior bingo like you might think! This is a Diva MUST. You’ll find us there with our Saturgays and friends almost monthly playing and fundraising. Hosted by Diva Dweller and supreme hostess Sylvia O’Stayformore.

DonnaTella and a second drag or burlesque performer work the confirming bingos and selling raffle tickets for the big 50/50 cash prize raffle. Its a hoot and a half and sells out at least a month in advance. We told you it’s popular!
