Bingo Winners
Lucky children from
Gilmerton Playgroup hit the jackpot recently, when kind hearted Phil
Thomson, Manager of the Royal Bingo in Drum Street offered to sponsor
the group.
The playgroup, held in
Gilmerton Community Centre from Monday to Friday, was struggling to stay
afloat with a small grant from Social Work, parents fees and
fundraising.
Committee members
decided to write to local businesses in the hope that they could help
out.
They were astounded when
big hearted Phil came to their rescue with a package of £100 per month
and the offer of two fundraising charity nights.
Pictured above are some
of the children and parents presenting framed handprints and thank you
poem (printed below) to Phil.
Thanks to Royal Bingo
and here’s to a bright future!
Handprints
left on steamed up windows
Finger
prints on clean white doors
Grubby
smudges on the
paintwork
Muddy
footprints on the
floors
But
those prints don’t last forever
So
we’ve made you some to keep
For
the future, when we’re
older
Sometimes
you can take a peep
To
remind you of a
chilhood
Spent
enjoying every day
Playing,
learning, laughing, singing
Loving
life in every way
Given with thanks to the Royal
Bingo Club, Gilmerton for their help and support.
From the children at Gilmerton
Playgroup.
