Live Oak Baptist Church invites Selma-area families and neighbors to a Community Bingo Fundraiser Night on Saturday, October 10.

The Community Bingo Fundraiser Night runs from 5–8 p.m. at 1555 Live Oak Church Road, Selma.

The announcement welcomes all ages and lists bingo cards at two for $10, with a $100 top prize and additional prizes.

Food will also be available, giving visitors an opportunity to make the evening a social outing as well as a game night.

An evening built around a familiar game

Bingo offers an easy conversation starter for people who may arrive knowing only one or two others in the room.

Invite a neighbor, bring a family member or arrange to meet friends at the church.

The attraction is partly the game itself and partly the chance to spend time together away from ordinary weekend routines.

A fundraiser can provide a local gathering point without requiring a complicated itinerary or a long drive to a larger entertainment venue.

First-time players should ask the event helpers how cards are used and what winning patterns will apply.

Different organizers can use different formats, so listening to the explanation matters even if you have played bingo elsewhere.

Know the costs before making plans

The advertised card offer is two for $10, and the announcement identifies a $100 top prize.

It does not provide a complete breakdown of rounds, prize rules or any optional purchases.

Ask the organizers whether the card offer covers the whole evening or whether additional cards or games have separate charges.

Confirm payment methods before arriving rather than assuming cash, cards or digital payments will all be accepted.

Food availability is announced, but a menu and prices are not listed in the event notice.

Budget separately for meals, snacks or drinks unless the organizer confirms that something is included.

If you are bringing several people, talk through everyone’s spending plans before purchasing cards.

A prize drawing or game outcome should never be treated as a guaranteed way to recover the evening’s costs.

Bringing children or a group

The event announcement welcomes all ages, making it an option for a family outing.

Ask about any specific rules for younger players and whether an adult needs to handle purchases or prize claims.

Those arrangements are not detailed in the public announcement.

Families can explain the game beforehand so children know when to listen and how to follow along.

Agree on a meeting point if members of your group step away for food or a break.

For a larger group, ask whether seating can be arranged together and whether advance notice would help.

Do not assume tables are reserved or that a particular arrival time guarantees seats side by side.

A little preparation leaves more room to enjoy the company.

Keep cards and game materials organized, listen for instructions and ask an event helper if something is unclear.

Friendly competition works best when everyone understands the rules and gives other players room to concentrate.

Confirm details with the organizer

The event is described as a fundraiser, but the public notice does not identify a specific beneficiary or project.

Anyone who wants to know how proceeds will be used should ask Live Oak Baptist Church directly.

Likewise, visitors with dietary requirements should ask about ingredients rather than choosing food based on an assumed menu.

Contact the organizer ahead of time for accessibility questions, seating needs or other arrangements that affect your visit.

Check the current event announcement before leaving home for changes to the schedule or practical details.

Save the location together with the date so it is easy to share accurate plans with friends.

The evening is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, from 5–8 p.m. at Live Oak Baptist Church, 1555 Live Oak Church Road.

Bring your questions, choose a spending limit and enjoy a community evening close to home.
