You forgot to point out the funds were from concessions and 50/50, not Bingo Card sales. That is why there are no criminal charges! And what about all the contributions to Lake Ashton from those same funds for ping pong tables, pavilion screening, carpeting, etc. The 50/50 was stopped when found it was illegal unless going to a charity, then the final balance was given to a local charity. Also, the volunteers are there every Bingo session in their Bingo shirts, selling the cards, calling the numbers, cleaning up afterwards, they buy the concessions, set-up, sell and pack-up concessions every week, not a crime taking all of them to dinner in December for their year long efforts...
All left over money must go to charity! Bingo comes under 501-C if you want a license to play Bingo. There was too much money involved and spend. All money's came from 50/50. concession stand and Bingo.
