Jan. Bingo Calls - Philo Theme

I am finishing up the AV bingo and getting to this one next. Thanks Nan for all your help.

Gotcha....
Thank *you*, Sharon for all your efforts....what a chore *2* Bingos must have been!!
Just holding the cards got a little 'crazy' at the end!
But I must say, I really enjoyed it...it worked out perfectly that neither you nor I get online at home on nights or weekends....we were a good pair! LOL!!

Good Pair indeed, I am working on this one now. Give me about 10-15 and I shoudl have it all sorted out. Thanks for you patience. Hope all enjoyed.

Ok there is one gift left, lets see who gets the fingers moving the fastest.

Since I have this one, Moonlight.......................

Race is on.

Bingo!

I do have Bingo with this .... but since I won 3rd place in the AV Game, I will forfeit this one! Can't believe I won on both games .... that's too weird!

You won on both lIn. Congrats. Once nan verifies, please dmail me where you want your gift cert from?

Chantell can you dmail me the same.

That's right!!
Congrats plantladylin - Lin! You're winner #5~

Lin are you sure you want to do that, let me know for sure, next up is Mortez.

Thanks Y'all, but I don't feel comfortable taking a prize here .... like I said, I won in the AV game .... let someone else have a chance with this one! I thought the game was over already anyway, I thought there were only 4 prizes here!

Hope someone checks their card and yells Bingo!

Lin

Yes Sharon, I'm very sure!

Good luck to the next Bingoer!

Next winner was Moretz. Congrats Moretz, you are the wiiner,

Dmail me where you want your cert from after Nan verifies. Thanks.

Lin...you're a good woman....
Moretz is verified with a Bingo as well.

Congratulations Moretz! ... 2nd place in African Violet Bingo and 5th place in House Plant Bingo!

Great Games!

Thanks to all involved for hosting, holding and supplying prizes .... and to everybody who played! It was Great Fun!

Geesh..this all moves to fast for me on my slooowww dial-up connection!

moretz

Congratulations to all the winners. I have really enjoyed the game. Thank you Sharon and Nan for your hard work.

Shirley

Dispatcher1: Congratulations on being the 3rd Prize Recipient!

You have D-Mail. I got your address from the Addy Exchange, but I will be waiting to hear back from you before mailing your prize! I'm not sure what your weather is like up there in Indiana!

Lin

This was so much fun. I am going to take pics tomorrow of my philos to post. Been trying to the entire bingo and not paid it yet.

Everyone has been great...thanks again for all the hard work - what fun this has been!!!

Lin,That was so nice of you.I agree with Nan you are a sweetie : )
Congrats Moretz!!
And a Big Congrats to all the other winners! Such a fun Game!!

Thanks Sharon and CJ and all of the contibutors and players.Hope there is another game next month : )

Houseplant - February

Need a Host:
Card Holder:
Prize Donors: I will donate a prize

I'll help with a prize - $5-$7?

I really wanna 'play' this time, LOL!!
But I admit, being the cardholder was fun, and I'll do it again in the future with someone who'll 'jive' with my schedule of not being online at night or on weekends....that's housework/family time for me.

Just a thought - why not have everyone that wants to participate donate "x" amt - kinda like real bingo. Not sure if that's allowed or not but would certianly share the burden of $$ across the board.

I like the way you think Chantell : ) That just might be a wonderful way to do it.
Nancy

I'm in too ... I'll be glad to donate $$ for helping with prizes too!

I like Chantell's idea, too. I might be able to be host-caller for FEB., but I do work crazy hours. IF others would be OK with calls all hours of the day?

kwz7NC .... That would really keep us on our toe's .... with calls at any given time! Could be interesting .... and fun! But, I'm not too sure it would be fair to folks who don't have access to a computer on nights or weekends, or people who work crazy schedules. It would give people like me the advantage, since I have 24/7 access to my computer. I don't work and am in and out all day, every day....which allows me to keep checking in constantly if I have the notion.

What do y'all think?

Lin

I guess it comes down to 'You can't please all of the people all of the time'....
I don't get online at night or on weekends, but there's probably other people who ONLY get online at night or on weekends....so whatever works, works!
I think everyone is just grateful that the host - HOSTS!!

Oh Lin,That would indeed keep us on our toes. I say go for it kwz7NC.It sounds like a fun way to play.Oh and you are so right Nan.We are very grateful to the person who hosts. : )

Anyone have a suggestion for a theme? (pepperomias?)And should we open to new participants or keep the group we have? Anyone interested in handling prizes/offerings?

new participants The , more people the , merrier ~ We always well come everyone in AV forum were on our Ninth month ,Some months we have had over 40 players !!

Ok, I think the game should start a bit later to give the weekday people a time to sign up for the game. We still need a:

card holder
Prize handler & amount each person would put towardss a prize-I think $7 is fair. (***NOTE< BAD IDEA< PLEASE IGNORE)

I was thinking of doing plectranthus. I like these but don't have any at the time.

im the card holder for the african violet bingo,do you think i could do both at the same time or would i get confussed to easy? lol plmk and thxs

moretz, I've never done this before, so I can only guess-I beleive if you think you can handle it, you can! An alternative is that you could be the prize handler instead, that way you wouldn't get the cards mixed up. Thanks so much for offering, and I would love it if you'd do either.

Are you taking money from each player ? That's something new ?
Most Bingo games before the Host/Sponcor gave the prizes, but lately people have been giving and there has been a lot of prizes.
I donated $15.00 toward the ( 2nd Prize - $20 Gift Certficiate (Thanks to Violet_treasure and Makshi) - Violet_treasure will handle this prize)
I use to be Violet_Trasure :)) on this months Bingo in HousePlants
So does it mean in order to play Bingo here I would have to donate $7.00 ??
For Av Bingo ~For Feb I've already donated $5.00 ( or ten if needed to get first prize to $50.00)
Plus give membership to AVSA US Funds only which cost $25.00
Plus Mel Robey's new Book is $14.95 Winner pays shipping.
I would not be able to aford to donate more so I was wondering ??
Edit, I just went up and re-read and read above about everyone that wants to play must donate ? But everyone did not doante money last game ? I feel this would leave a lot of people out that might enjoy playing that can not aford to donate. Then it's would be more a private game not open to all Dg's Members ?
My 2 cents is this fair ?
