I did not expect or want anything different for my birthday this year. A meal out and a whole day of Bingo. That’s enough for me. First we went to breakfast and I had my favorite of one blueberry pancake, one egg and one slice of bacon. Cliff and Rod were with us and we were a hilarious group, finding fun in everything this happy day. Then we were off to Bingo. We were lucky enough to find near parking at our favorite Bingo spot and I noticed a sign reading, “Spectacular Events Today.” That was good enough for me. I was ready to have some fun. The very first game was a “spectacular” as after the winner was called, a second chance was announced for a second winner. This could be a very exciting day. The third game was another “spectacular,” It was a double Bingo, but a first Bingo was paid half the winnings, while the sec- Page 4; Bingo Bugle (Nevada) May 2016 Hearing Loss ■ Resources to help Can you direct me to some resources for my hearing impaired mother? She doesn’t realize her hearing has gotten as bad as it has, so I’m looking for some affordable ways to help. Any suggestions? Loud Talker Dear Loud, There are more 31.5 million Americans today that have hearing loss (two-thirds of whom are over age 55) but less than half ever seek treatment. Here are some tips that may help. Hearing Loss Being aware of hearing loss as you grow older is important because impaired hearing can have a negative impact on your quality of life. In fact, studies show that older people with hearing impairment often withdraw, become depressed and may even die before their time. Because hearing loss usually develops over years, many people aren’t aware of the extent of their loss until family or friends bring it to their attention. Here’s a simple test to help your mom see where she stands: • Does she have trouble hearing over the telephone? • Does she listen to TV at a high volume level? • Does she frequently have to ask others to repeat themselves? • Does she have difficulty with understanding people in groups or noisy situations? • Does she have difficulty understanding women or young children? • Does she have trouble knowing where sounds are coming from? • Is she unable to understand when someone talks to her from another room? • Does she avoid family meetings or social situations because she “can’t understand”? If she answered yes to three or more of these questions she may have a hearing problem and should see an otolaryngologist, a doctor who specializes in ear, nose and throat disorders (see www.entnet.org to locate one in your area), or an audiologist (www.audiology.org) for a hearing evaluation. Hearing Solutions Depending on her hearing problem there are various devices or treatments that can help. Some possible solutions include: • Hearing Aids: Recent advances in design and technology have dramatically improved hearing aids over the past few years. She should work with an audiologist to find the right kind. Also, ask about having a trial period so she can try out several different aids. Costs typically range between $800 and $3,000 per ear. Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids nor do most health insurers. For more information on the different kinds of hearing aids, models and new technology visit www.hearingloss.org and order the Consumer’s Guide to Hearing Aids for $4.25. • Assistive Devices: These are products that can help with less than perfect hearing, such as telephone amplifying devices, TV and radio listening systems, assistive listening devices or alert products like flashing light door bells, smoke detectors, etc. A good place to locate these types of products is at www.abledata.com, or call 800-227-0216. • Cochlear implants: If hearing loss is severe, cochlear implant surgery may provide a possible solution. Ask her doctor about this option. Discount Hearing Aids For the millions of Americans that need hearing aids but can’t afford them, there’s a great program that can help called “Audient.” A relatively new non-profit service that helps people purchase new hearing aids at greatly discounted prices. If eligible, you’ll receive an examination by a hearing health professional (within their nationwide network), and then be fitted with new digital, behind-the-ear hearing aids. Routine follow-up visits are also provided. Discounts range between 30 and 80 percent. To learn more visit www.audientalliance.org or call 877-283-4368. Savvy Tips: Many states have a telecommunications equipment distribution program that provides free telephone equipment to assist people with their hearing problem. Check with your local telephone company or visit www.tedpa.org to find what’s available in your state. And a great resource for hearing loss information is the Better Hearing Institute, which also offers a free booklet titled Your Guide to Better Hearing. To get a copy, visit www.betterhearing.org or call 800-3279355. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit www.savvysenior.org. CashBallupdates.com ond Bingo got the full amount. I was on for that game so was really excited. During the game before intermission, Rod got so excited he got hiccups and we were all nearly hysterical with laughter. Someone else won and his hiccups stopped, but we were still in a delightful mood. After intermission Kate was hot. She won the first game, which got us really going and was on for the second. Then Cliff won an on-the-way game, which made us really happy. “It’s my birthday,” I said, loud enough for many people to hear. “It’s time I won one,” then giggled for my rhyming phrase. But no more wins came our way and we still went away happy, knowing I’d had about the best birthday ever. We went on to dinner at which time everyone had a gift for me. Cliff had got a book I have been wanting—a new Harlen Coben novel. His novels are so complicated I am tempted to write things down in a notebook. Kate gave me a year’s worth of movie tickets, which I will treasure and use wisely. Rod came last and he presented me with a jeweler’s black velvet box that I was tempted not to open to prolong the surprise. But they all told me to “open it,” “open it.” And so I did, to discover the most beautiful bracelet I had ever seen. It was studded with rubies and diamonds and slipped on my arm like it had been made for that exact spot. “Oh, Rod,” I said breathlessly. “It’s so beautiful. I can’t thank you enough. However did you know it’s exactly what I’ve been wanting?” He put his arm around my shoulders, took a good long look at me, gave me a kiss and said, “I guess I know my girl. Happy, happy birthday.” Page 5; Bingo Bugle (Nevada) May 2016 Let’s check the mailbox One of my biggest rewards for bringing you this Bingo column every month is hearing from readers via my e-mail: [email protected]. I want to apologize to a nice lady in Bakersfield, California. It seems that only today did I find a letter from her that came in the Bingo mailbox over a year ago. Wow. I wonder if she is still reading this. Gloria writes: “Bob, I would like to say that I truly enjoy your column in the Bingo Bugle. Also, when the Bingo announcer tells everyone there will be NO cell phone usage in the hall, what part of “NO” don’t these Bingo players understand? “I really love playing Bingo at my favorite place here in Bakersfield. I have played since my son was in high school. I worked as a parent volunteer at the time. He is now 50. “One of the downsides of our hall is that we only have two TV monitors to look out to check the calls. They are on opposite walls. One on the north end, one on the south end. I personally think it’s about time that they bought a couple more, possibly for the corners. I know the two can be hard to see because when we volunteers are in the middle of the room, we often block the view…even though we don’t intend to do so.” Well, Gloria, thanks for being such a longtime Bingo fan. You bring up an interesting point. If YOU, having been a volunteer for so many years, can’t get the ball rolling to make changes in the hall, what can the average player do when he or she wants something changed? I have spent a lot of your time lately talking about callers who mumble and advising people what to do. I’ll repeat the best advice I can give. Don’t continue to sit in a bad hall hearing bad calls. But… and listen to this…don’t try to change things by YOURSELF! See if others around you feel the same way. Then, take GROUP action. I firmly believe that many people who run Bingo halls are not really aware of the problems. They are there nine-to-five and life can become a blur. We are only there when we want to be there. Again, I want to point out that I love the people who make Bingo possible. If you are a caller or a runner, you know that over the years I have been on your side. But, we all need to work together on this. Let’s not allow Bingo to change from the “game we love” to the “game we dread.” Next time: Something you might not have thought of. BINGO LAND ...Stories from the Real World & Cyberspace ■ This month: Making fun of the debates with Bingo By Jeffrey Charboneau Special to the Bingo Bugle Bible Bingo It’s another election year, and Moe Bar on Capitol Hill in Washington, has its TV screen tuned in to the latest presidential debate. Patrons have a little more at stake than just politics, however. They are at Moe Bar to compete in Debate Bingo. Before each political debate, the bar’s Bingo host, Matt Hickey, writes up a list of possible catchphrases, puts them into a Bingo software system, and prints Debate Bingo cards with lingo related to the current political free-for-all. Cross out five squares in a row and win a free drink. Hickey takes careful notes each week to create his Bingo cards. “If something happens that I think is hilarious, I add it,” he told the Seattle Times. Among some recent cards’ squares: “Hillary’s emails,” “Trump mentions his border wall,” and “Bernie supports guns.” Playwright Vicki Quade and Nuns4Fun Entertainment announced that the play Bible Bingo was performed on the island of Guam as a fundraiser for the island’s Academy of Our Lady of Guam. Two performances of Bible Bingo were given this spring. Bible Bingo is a comedy about the Catholic culture of fundraising and Bingo, featuring the character Mrs. Mary Margaret O’Brien, a former nun who now heads a fictitious archdiocese fundraising department. Now in its third year, the comedy opened at the Royal George Theatre in Chicago in November 2013, and is still performed there every weekend. It has also been on tour for the past two years. The performance in Guam marks the first time the show was performed overseas. Cultural Bingo Students learned about different cultures, practiced speaking various languages and tasted international foods as part of a Bingo event offered by the University of Houston’s Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI). The Bingo, which took place during UH’s Cultural Connect Week, was part of a Language Exchange event and required attendees to engage with other players who fit criteria listed on the Bingo card squares. This was CDI’s first Bingo night, and more than 200 students, faculty and staff attended. CDI, the Department of Hispanic Studies, International Student and Scholar Services, Learning Abroad, and the Department of Modern and Classical Languages spon- Page 6; Bingo Bugle (Nevada) May 2016 sored UH’s Cultural Connect Week. Debate Bingo Racetrack Bingo The owners of Racetrack Bingo in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, have been charged by federal authorities with conspiracy to commit fraud, illegal gambling and the theft of millions of dollars from local charities. An indictment summarizing charges against Larry and Dixie Masino states that the couple conspired to obtain approximately $5.8 million in “criminally derived property” by defrauding a coalition of charities through exorbitant rent and fees for the use of their Bingo hall. “Larry L. Masino and Dixie L. Masino operated Racetrack Bingo Inc. in violation of the Bingo statute in order to gain profit for themselves and their children,” the indictment reads. The Masinos also were indicted individually on numerous money laundering charges.

Since I enjoy reading your perspective regarding my favorite game, I figured you would be able to offer some insight. I’ve been a regular Bingo player for about four years. I am not a fan of machines, so the hall I play at is all paper. I love the game immensely and, when I’m fortunate enough to win, I always tip 10%—which I thought was the “standard.” A few weeks ago, however, I had a conversation about tipping with another regular player. According to him, my way of thinking is way off base. Our talk took place during the first session of the day and centered on a HUGE cash ball that was up for grabs during one of the evening sessions. I casually mentioned that if I were to hit it I would tip 10% because that’s what I always do. He scoffed and said, “10% is way too much for Bingo,” and went on to tell me how much he tips when he wins. (I’d rather not specify the amount here, but I will say that it’s significantly less than what I tip). Although I know that everyone has their own ideas when it comes to this subject, his comments did surprise me. What are your thoughts? —Renee F., Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Renee, Tipping is a popular topic in this column and one which generates lots of opinions from both sides of the Bingo table. The majority of workers I’ve heard from (who are employed at for-profit Bingos) say they work for little more than minimum wage and count on tips to sup- plement that income. (I stress for-profit because charity Bingo is run by volunteers who should not be expecting or getting tips.) These workers see their role as part of the service industry which, like restaurant servers or taxi drivers, traditionally includes tipping for that service. Generally speaking, my understanding is that these workers expect just what you have been tipping—10%—which is considerably less than you would other service providers. The debate begins, however, with those players who do not consider Bingo workers part of the service industry and do not feel a specific percentage of their prize money should be given up. This is certainly understandable: After months of losing at Bingo, what player wants to surrender $100 of his or her long-awaited $1,000 jackpot? For these folks, giving a Bingo worker a flat $5, $10, or $20 tip is as far as they are willing to go, in no small part because of all the money they have spent on Bingo without a win. As one player wrote: “I’ve spent plenty of money going to Bingo, trying repeatedly to win. Once I’m lucky enough to win, I prefer to ‘share the joy’ with my family, who truly helps me all the time, not strangers who never have! Why should I be obligated to tip anyone who didn’t provide a personal service to me?” Part of the issue may be that people who currently, or at some time in their lives, worked at a job that relied on tips, understand how important tipping is and make sure to tip appropriately in service situations. Those who have not been at the receiving end of tipping may view it as an option they should not be obligated to exercise. A Bingo worker once commented: “It is time to inform the entire Bingo community that tipping is customary and, yes, it should be 10%. It is quite discouraging to go above and beyond to assist Bingo players and be tipped next to nothing. Maybe you can’t tip 10%, but be fair. You win $10,000 and tip $20? Really?” To sum up, I personally feel that Bingo workers are indeed in the service industry. And if I feel that a worker is doing his or her best to make sure I have an enjoyable time at Bingo, I will share my good fortune with them at the rate of at least 10%. If the service just isn’t there, then the worker should not be surprised—or complain—if the tip is smaller. —Aunt Bingo ARIZONA Phoemix. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

He went to the dinner despite a superstitious friend’s warning. Twain reportedly said, “It was bad luck. They only had food for 12.” Beware, dear readers. Friday the 13th can only occur in months starting with Sunday and this month did so. In fact this month contains the only Friday the 13th in 2016. If you believe that this day is unlucky, then you suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobics. Belief that the number 13 is unlucky is the most common Western superstition. Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won’t dine in restaurants; many wouldn’t think of getting married on that date. More than 80% of high-rises lack a 13th floor. In the United States alone, between 17 and 21 million people dread that date to the extent that it can be officially classified as a phobia. Why is Friday, and not Tuesday or Monday, associated with unlucky 13? Some say Friday’s bad reputation dates to the Garden of Eden when Eve tempted Adam with forbidden fruit and caused them to be ejected from Paradise. Tradition also holds that Noah’s great flood began on Friday; and, of course, Friday was the day of the week on which Christ was crucified. On the other hand, ancient Egyptians thought the number 13 was lucky because they believed that the 13th stage of life was related to the afterlife. In modern day China the Mandarin word for thirteen is shisan and it means vibrant, bold; so Friday the 13th is a great day to try new things. In the United States, businesswoman Mary Kay Ash believed thirteen was a very lucky number so she founded her company on Friday, September 13, 1963. The Mary Kay headquarters has thirteen floors and thirteen passenger elevators. If you also believe Friday the 13th is good luck you are said to hold a counter belief. According to a University of Pennsylvania professor, people with counter beliefs defiantly use them for good fortune and this specifically applies to players of bingo and other games of chance. That would be us, folks. My husband and I love to gamble on Friday the 13th. That being said, here are some ways to hedge your bets for only good luck on that auspicious day. First, carry three keys on your keychain to summon wealth, health, and love. Second, wear red underpants as this color will bring you more luck than others. Third, forget cleaning. It’s bad luck to use a broom, change bed sheets, flip the mattress, or do laundry on that day. Lastly, wear your clothes inside out. I love that one because it would be so much fun to attend a bingo on Friday 13th where everyone did this, even the workers. Bingo managers, are you listening? Until next month, may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you dance out the door with dollars. Win big. And don’t forget. The first Friday 13th of the year is Blame Someone Else Day. If you don’t win at bingo, you can blame someone else for your losing session. I like it. E-mail me a pic of you at bingo wearing inside out clothes via [email protected]. However, I do not want to see you in your red undies. I’ll take your word for it. JACKPOT PHONE NUMBER Just dial our Jackpot phone number, 702-269-3300 and listen to the first message.

My sister and I would love to make it for our grandchildren. Do you have any recpes for “spoon bread”? Also, what should I serve with it. I love your recipes! Karen Ann and Sister Sue from Chicago Dear Karen Ann and Sister Sue, Spoon bread was very popular 60 years ago and still is with lots of Southerners. It is more like a pudding than a bread. I would serve it with grilled chicken or grilled pork chops. —Annie SPOON BREAD 1 1 1 1/2 2 1 1/2 3 2 cup cornmeal teaspoon salt cups boiling water tablespoons butter cups milk eggs teaspoons baking powder Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Flora Valdez - $2,458 Cash Ball with Bingo Agent Violeta Fiesta Henderson and Quinoa Salad is a meal in a bowl. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner on a hot summer day, and it will keep for two to three days in the refrigerator. SUMMER FRUIT, VEGETABLE AND QUINOA SALAD Because It’s June June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month. It’s a great time to include more fresh vegetables and fruits in our diets. The latest Dietary Guidelines recommend that we all increase our vegetable and fruit intake. Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and fiber, and they lower your risk of developing certain chronic diseases. They also are naturally low in calories, fat and sodium, which can help you maintain a healthy weight. How many fruits and vegetables should you eat each day? The USDA’s MyPlate recommendations are based on your calorie needs for your age, gender and activity level. For a 2,000 calorie diet, you should eat 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables a day. To learn what your individual needs are, use the customized Daily Food Plan on the MyPlate website. What counts as a cup of fruit or vegetables? In general, 1 cup of fruit or 100 percent fruit juice, or 1/2 cup of dried fruit counts as 1 cup from the fruit group; and 1 cup of raw or cooked vegetables or vegetable juice, or 2 cups of raw leafy greens can be considered 1 cup from the vegetable group. Before eating fresh fruits and vegetables, it is important to remember some basic food safety rules. * Avoid bruised or damaged produce and keep it separate from raw meat, poultry and seafood. * Perishable fresh produce, such as lettuce, herbs and mushrooms, and all cut or peeled produce should be stored in the refrigerator at 40 F or below. * Wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water and soap before and after preparing fruits and vegetables. * Produce should be washed under running water (do not use soap) before eating, cutting or cooking. Then, cut away any damaged or bruised areas. * Always wash cutting boards, dishes, utensils and counters between prep of raw meat, poultry or seafood and produce. My recipe for Summer Fruit, Vegetable Quinoa takes this recipe from a delicious salad to a complete meal. The grain has been called a superfood because its protein content is very high for a cereal/pseudo-cereal. It’s also a rich source of B vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B-6 and folate, and the dietary minerals iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. It is gluten-free and considered easy to digest. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons apple cider or sherry vinegar 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 1/2 (6-ounce) packages baby kale or baby spinach 1 medium summer squash or zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds 1 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa (or a cooked quinoa and brown rice) 1/2 cup fresh sweet cherries, pitted and halved 2 plums or peaches (or combination of both), pitted and sliced into segments 2/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion, white and green parts, roots removed and discarded 2 ounces goat cheese or feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup) 1. Combine olive oil, vinegar, honey or syrup, mustard, pepper, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Place the kale or spinach and the squash or zucchini on a platter or in a large, shallow bowl. Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil mixture over the vegetables, sprinkle and toss to coat. 2. Stir the quinoa blend or the cooked quinoa or the brown rice, cherries, plums and/or peaches, parsley and green onions into remaining oil mixture in the bowl. Top the kale or spinach mixture with the quinoa mixture and sprinkle with the cheese.

I made it, thank God. (I am 74.) I saw lots of clouds and people in a church and a hill of clouds. I went through the clouds and people handed me gifts. I like to buy gifts for my friends. Then, a warm hand touches my shoulder and someone said, “It’s not time yet.” I had to go back and I did not want to. My son died yesterday. I pray for him. He didn’t believe until the end. I also have a sweet daughter, (photo enclosed) but I worry about her. Bonnie Y., Titusville, Florida Dear Bonnie, My deepest condolence on your son’s passing. You sound like a generous and kind woman so I am certain you raised your daughter to have your fine characteristics. There is no need to worry about her. Dear Dream Lady, I’ve been a widow for a long time. Not so long ago I had a dream that I was looking for my husband. I knocked at his door. He answered and I told him I needed his help. I was so happy to see him. He said he would help me. The next thing I knew we were on a train and I asked him, “Where are we going?” He said, “I am taking you home.” Then I woke up.

Dream Lady OLATES BOXED CHOCTS FOR AND BASKE IONS ALL OCCAS ic & For the DiabetAlike Non-Diabetic THE “STRIP” In Old San Juan’s Casa Don Q, you can learn about Destileria Serralles, a rum distillery established in 1865—and perhaps sample its award-winning products. A few streets beyond brings you to Museo de Dona Fela, the original residence of Felisa Rincón de Gautier, the city’s first woman mayor. Also in Old San Juan is Casa Blanca, or the White House. For 250 years it was the residence of the descendents of Juan Ponce de León, the first governor of Puerto Rico. The house is now a museum of 16th- and 17th-century family life. Across from Casa Blanca is Fuerte San Felipe del Morro or El Morro fortress, rising majestically 140 feet above the sea. El Morro, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and San Juan Bay, is the most striking of the city’s military fortifications. It was built between 1540 and 1783 to protect San Juan from attacks by sea. Among its many attractions is a maze of secret tunnels and dungeons, and a small museum. A small square called Plaza de Hostos features artisans’ displays, snack stands, and the traditional piragueros—vendors selling shaved ice sweetened with tropical fruit syrups. Also in the area is La Princesa, a former jail and now headquarters of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. The restored building features a gallery of Puerto Rican art with permanent and visiting exhibitions. Next comes the red-painted Puerta de San Juan, or San Juan Gate. This is one of six original massive wooden doors that centuries ago were closed at sundown to protect residents. Pass through the door- DECATUR Setting sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 12, 2016, the 28th Annual World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise will explore the exotic eastern Caribbean with stops at four exciting island destinations—St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan and Grand Turk. Entering your sixth day at sea, Carnival Conquest drops anchor at dazzling, sundrenched San Juan, Puerto Rico. And among the many enjoyable excursions available there is a guided or on-your-own tour of beautiful Old San Juan. Narrow cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings, centuries-old fortresses overlooking the Atlantic, fascinating museums and art galleries, endless shopping, and handcrafts on every corner are but some of the characteristics of the legendary Old City. A great place to start is at one of many overlooks of San Juan Bay, the busiest ocean port in the Caribbean, bringing in half of the region’s trade and over a million cruise ship visitors a year. Bayside shops carry everything from gold jewelry to island arts and crafts. As you follow the curve of the bay, you come upon La Muralla, the city wall. Built between 1539 and 1641 using sandstone blocks up to 20 feet thick, the wall was completed in 1782 and was erected to protect the city from enemies. If you peer across the water toward the western mouth of the bay, you will see Isla de Cabras, or Goat Island, and a small Spanish fort built in 1610. www.fantasticindoorswapmeet.com Dear Denise, Every so often I see dreams like this. They are either comforting to the dreamer or disturbing. The train tells me you are on a journey, but we don’t know if the destination is death (to see your husband again) or if you are preparing for a different direction in life. You know that because you know your health status. Either way, it sounds like you will be content with the outcome. Please keep in touch with me on how things go with your health and life. Dream Lady Please send your dreams to Dream Lady at P.O. Box 414, Entiat WA 98822. Enclose an SASE if you want a personal reply before publication. Not all dreams are published.

Station Casinos will once again launch a month-long fundraising effort to raise awareness and funds for homeless veterans and their families who reside at Veterans Village located in Downtown Las Vegas. Proceeds raised throughout May will benefit Southern Nevada’s only 24/7 crisis intervention and housing facility that cares for our local homeless veterans and their families. In 2015, Month of Honor raised $58,000 for Veterans Village. From May 1-31, Station Casinos properties and venues including the cafes, casino bars, bingo rooms, bowling alleys and gaming areas including designated blackjack and poker tables will be themed patriotic to signify where the Company will donate a portion of its proceeds and gaming winnings. Month of Honor will feature: Patriotic Pastries: A variety of exclusively created patriotic-themed desserts such as Bundt cakes, sugar cookies, red velvet cupcakes, candy-covered strawberries and brownies will be available at all cafes including Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch Resort, Palace Station, Red Rock Resort, Texas Station, Santa Fe Station and Sunset Station. Take a vet to dinner: Guests may donate some of their Boarding Pass rewards points at any Rewards Center in exchange for a buffet voucher to be enjoyed by a resident of Veterans Village. In 2015, guests donated enough Boarding Pass points to provide more than 1,400 buffet meals to the residents of Veterans Village. Round up for honor: Guests will be invited to round up their dining check in all steakhouses, cafes and buffets. Red Bull Match: Red Bull will generously donate $1 for every Red Bull and/or cocktail that includes Red Bull ordered at any casino bars. Bingo Patriotic Packs: Special bingo pink packs will be offered at the majority of Monday bingo sessions for $4. Patriotic packs will be available in both paper and electronic. The $1 cash ball validation fee is not included in the purchase price of the patriotic packs. Properties participating in the bingo patriotic packs include Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch Resort, Palace Station, Red Rock Resort, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station and Texas Station. Bingo patriotic packs were generously donated by gaming partner Fortunet. “21” for the Red, White and Blue: Properties that offer blackjack tables will have a designated “patriotic” table where a portion of the gaming winnings will be donated to the charity. Table felts were generously donated by gaming partner GPI. Poker Goes Patriotic: Poker tables at Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch Resort, Boulder Station, Santa Fe Station and Palace Station will have a designated “patriotic” table in May where a portion of the rake will be donated to the charity.

Eliot wrote: “For us there is only the trying, the rest is none of our business.” That notion might be a little unnerving for you detail-and system-loving Virgins. But you’ll want to try this month to “Let go and Let God” (or whatever you feel as a higher force guiding your life). This month involves allowing nature to offer the clues you need to guide you forward.

But with Mars and Saturn joined in the same sign now, you’ll need to allow your imagination to roam freely while keeping a sharp eye on the various details related to finances and home security. Find a way to put your urge to roam into a new philosophy, art or spiritual practice. Lucky Days: 5-12 Lucky Numbers: 33-46 TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: You love luxury, and with Venus active all month, the temptation to indulge beyond your means is pressing hard on your purse. Instead of having to pay the piper later, make a list of all of your current desires and then take a vow to purchase just one. And then go ahead and splurge. This is called a careful indulgence. And admit it, you deserve it. (But just one). Lucky Days: 16-28 Lucky Numbers: 4-69 GEMINI: May 22-June 21: If you feel neglected, consider Whistler’s Father. How different his life would have been if he’d been painted too. Don’t let this happen to you. Promote and shine. May is the month when you can move yourself forward by playing off your gifts for dexterity, charm and innate cleverness. Once you’re outside of the box discard the container and run free. Lucky Days: 12-23 Lucky Numbers: 10-18 CANCER: June 22-July 22: Go out of your way to discover a new source of inspiration this month; you’re running out of gas for repeating old habits or hobbies. Crabs tend to back themselves into a corner for security’s sake, but that won’t serve you well right now. Fresh is the word. Break your shell. Take a chance on the unknown—if you trust your inner guidance you’re guaranteed an exciting ride. Lucky Days: 8-21 Lucky Numbers 2-22 LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: You’ll benefit by working to expose the secret forces that influence your life. For most of us this means understanding the power of love—who or what we blend our energies with in the hope of achieving some goal. Developing partnerships and affiliations becomes an important theme for you throughout 2016. Aim for truth-telling with everyone you cross paths with, there’s no room for error now.

How to handle this shift with grace? Initiate a new study, hobby or passion that will replace old habits and lay down new mental grooves. This allows you to transform gracefully; a victory for all harmony-loving Libras. Lucky Days: 14-19 Lucky Numbers: 4-49 SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: What gives your life meaning? And what is your life’s purpose? Surprisingly, you’ll find a clue to these questions when you make a plan to organize your financial affairs. Also, you’ll want to banish any skeletons in the family closet. Secrets and money often go hand in hand; freeing up one will have a direct effect on the other. Lucky Days: 12-22 Lucky Numbers 37-55 SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21: Dynamic Mars is back in your sign, empowering you with a galloping stride and your eye focused on the prize. Your challenge? The Full Moon on the 21st puts pressure on delivering the facts and the goods. Don’t be caught shorthanded. Inspiration is fabulous, but it’s nothing without commitments and scheduling to back it up. Lucky Days: 5-19 Lucky Numbers: 38-64 CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20: Independence. You’re craving it like crazy right now. So what’s holding you back? Dwelling on doubts. Don’t dismiss what seems impractical in your life right now. Sometimes we need to get a wee bit crazy to discover the way forward, and you’ll benefit by letting yourself stray from the tried and true path this month. Make a whim— and then go for it. Lucky Days: 3-29 Lucky Numbers: 8-35 AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: This month ignites a tension between your needs and those of your children or other family members. Shift the focus from your head to your heart. Follow Pascal’s wisdom—he wrote: “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of. We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart.” The truth will, really, set you free. Lucky Days: 6-19 Lucky Numbers: 22-56 PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: Your emotional meter is flicking high and low this month, which can drain your energy. Your reputation for over-empathizing with others might be put to the test. Remember that boundaries are in place to maintain the integrity of any relationship. Strive for a fair exchange between the ‘give and take,’ but don’t settle for the short end of the stick.
