Jean Marchinko - “Celebration Of Life”

Good morning everyone,



Today we are announcing that there will be a memorial for the late Jean Marchinko. For those of you who do not know Jean, she was the mother of our veteran employee Terry, and she passed away recently.

Jean was also a former employee of ours, and a pillar in the bingo community who was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

For anyone who would like to pay their respects to Jean, and the rest of the Marchinko family, Terry has asked us to pass on the following details:

The gathering will be at the Branch 31 Legion located at 1050 Weston Road

Date: August 13

Time: 1pm to 5pm.

Thank you.

Good evening everyone,

Yes, it has been a while. Far too long actually.

Thank you all for the kind messages we have received over this last little while. It sure is nice knowing so many of you are out there thinking of us and are in full support of our battle.

And usually in the case of "no news is good news", we'd be happy to report that. However, when it comes to the status of our business, no news has been painful.

We know we are on the eve of the province finally "opening" back up a little, which includes the re-openings of bingo halls, but we have not had any luck getting anyone from the Doug Ford government to reach out and try to solve the problems we face after countless meetings, calls and emails etc.

As it stands now, we are still without a building, and thus no business to operate. We are STILL waiting on approvals from the government and our licensing bodies to help our hall gain access to the modernized gaming machines that many other halls and gaming centres have been afforded. Without these products we will not be able to provide you with the entertainment that you would be expecting.

It is a massive red tape battle.

So while we are still down, we are not out. We have what we feel are the most important meetings in the future of our bingo hall coming up in the next week or so. These meetings are crucial to the survival of our hall, which in turn allows us to help so many employees and the charities we are partnered with.

So while you may not see us for a little while longer, trust us in that we are not going down without a fight, and we will ensure the future of Ultimate Bingo is in tact for decades to come.

We miss all your smiling faces, and we vow to see you all very soon.

Until then, please enjoy the rest of the summer, and we will be in touch much more frequently to let you know the status of what we have going on.

Thank you,
Ultimate Bingo!
