No bingo machine, no ice

-

Iam writing you a letter on behalf of the senior citizens of the California­n, Senior Citizens Trailer Park, East Avenue I, Lancaster. There are many senior citizens that play Bingo at the California­n, Senior Citizen trailer park every Thursday at 6:30 P.M.

The seniors that play Bingo at the park, which has several players that are currently residing at the park, have been trying to repair their Bingo machine for over a month.

For the past month now; their Bingo machine has been broken. volunteers have been using a brown paper sack, to shack the Bingo balls and pull the numbers out one at a time to call the numbers.

Several members of the Bingo players have been trying to find the parts to repair their Bingo machine. Unfortunat­ely, their machine is very old, and parts are hard to find.

Being that several Bingo players, reside in the in the California­n Trailer Park, they have asked the management at the park to help them with the situation of the broken and non-working Bingo machine and were told that having Bingo is not a priority of the trailer park at this time. Even-though the pool tables were recently resurfaced.

The members of the Bing players have asked the management if they could repair or replace the ice making

machine in the club house, and were told that the machine would not be replaced. I believe that with the coming of the summer heat, a need for an ice machine is very important for the health and well being of the seniors at the park.

Many studies have shown that having activities for senior citizens, is a good way to help seniors stay active and healthy.
