Wednesday Night Bingo – Elk’s Hall
Sponsored by the Humane Society Yukon

The Humane Society Yukon is in desperate need of more Bingo volunteers. Bingo is our main fundraiser for the operation of the Shelter. Bingos are held every Wednesday at the Elk’s Hall starting at 6:00pm. Training is provided. Following are the positions needed:

Bingo Coordinator -Weekly

The coordinator prepares the bingo card packs for Wednesday bingo, arranges for delivery of supplies to the Elks Hall by 3.30 pm. and the set up. They maintain inventories of supplies, and reordering when necessary. They work closely with the shift scheduler ensuring all shifts are covered and fill in as a Card Seller, Floor Walker, or Paymaster when needed. They audit the weekly financial report and complete and submit the required information to YTG. They arrange the game format, print patrons’ programs at the beginning of each calendar year, and apply for the annual license.

The following positions may only require one Wednesday per month if we have enough volunteers.

Bingo Caller - 5:45 - 8:30 pm

The caller is responsible for running the games and calling the numbers.  There are 3 Early Bird games, 18 regular games and 1 Bonanza game.  They begin calling at 6 pm. and are over by 8:30 p.m.

Card Sellers - 4.00 – 6.00pm

Three volunteers sell card packs, early birds, and bonanza cards from the front table before bingo starts. This can be a sit down task. They must be comfortable with handling cash and making change.

Paymaster- 5:45 - 8:30 p.m.

The paymaster must be good at basic math. They calculate and allocate the prize money. They are responsible for reconciling the cash at the end of the evening, completing the approved forms, arranging for the bank deposit, and delivering the cash-box and remaining supplies to our Bingo Coordinator at the end of the evening. Paymasters will be interviewed by a board member.

Bingo Floor Walkers 4:00- 6:00 or 6:00- 8:30 p.m. (two shifts)

These volunteers sell bonanza cards on the floor.
From 6 - 8:30 pm they also verify winning bingos and deliver the prize money.

Bingo can be a lot of fun. It is challenging and fast paced. Please consider donating a few hours per month to help ensure that the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter will continue to be there for homeless animals.
