50/50 will be no more. Bingo Paul just doesn't know how to keep his month shut. He places an article in the L A Times saying where all the 50/50 money and snack bar money has gone. Well we all know that more money is required to buy and do all the things he said in the L A Times. It seems that he is running the 50/50 game without a gambling license from the state of Florida. There is NO license required for Bingo.... The requirement for Bingo is a Certificate issued by the STATE. Lake Ashton has that Certificate for Bingo but no gambling license for profit on 50/50.
How can a person that knows it all and make so many mistakes be in charge of Bingo? He should stick to calling numbers and then again he makes mistakes. The HOA says he will no longer be in charge of Bingo and have the right to say where all the left over money from Bingo is going. Effective Jan 1, 2010, the HOA will control the Bingo money in a special account for charity. They alone must decide to whom and where the money is going and report it to the state, not to know it all Paul Pontious. Paul duties are only to call the numbers at Bingo and give all the remaining money to the HOA committee for safe keeping. Its time to clean out the Bingo account Paul, and let the HOA handle it. HOA wants no more errors and wants the game of Bingo to be honest.
Your right Bingo Paul, a HOA member must control the Bingo Game, but how did you know this two years ago when you told this to Jessie and took over Bingo? What goes around comes around. Do we have another Nostradamus who can tell the future?

As a former Attorney, now retired and living in Lake Ashton for a year, I cant help but wonder ???
By having the HOA handling the Bingo Money instead of.. BINGO PAUL .. The money retained after expenses, payouts to players,etc. must still be donated to Charitable Institutions.
TRUE....Bingo P will not be able to give it to his personal friends or tell the CDD he will make them a gift for one thing or another...when he in fact should never had that privllege.
The money earned in the LA Ballroom, for ANY REASON is the residents money, and directed to use by the Board of Supervisors.
They and They alone can determine Rental Charges, and expenses to maintain the equipment etc.
Finally. NOW for the first time, I beieve the Florida Statutes will be followed. Something that has been neglected by Bingo Paul and others.
