Each previous year before COVID-19, the Men's Club facilitated Chanukah Dinner and Bingo. Bingo has always been a high-draw event at the shul. With obvious limitations in place to hold the dinner, we elected to run the event in the parking lot, socially-distanced.
- Through the shul website, we advertised and required RSVP, to prevent over-attendance.
- We prepared bingo cards on makeshift cardboard "clipboards" and had attending cars drive up and pick up their bingo cards and daubers.
- Attendees stayed in their cars with their windows open enough to hear the calling of numbers.
- The Mashgiach assembled treat boxes for each of the participants.
- PA system set up to call numbers. Winners would honk their horns upon winning.
- 16 - 18 cars with 2-3 participants in each car, parents and children were included as participants.
- We created ticket bags with 5 and 10 tickets split out so that we could easily handle the raffles.
- We used portable dry erase boards to keep track of the called bingo numbers as we walked the cars awaiting the calls of Bingo.
- Gift cards and 50/50 raffle were employed for prizes.
