Bingo Credit
-
Participate: A chorister's family, friends and relatives may work bingo shifts on their behalf. A number of shifts are required, as shown below. In addition, a family must provide a cheque for each of their required shifts. The cheques must be undated, in the amount of $300 each. The cheques are to accompany the chorister's registration. The office will hold onto the cheque until all required shifts are completed. Any shifts worked in excess of the required shifts will earn $40 of credits per shift for the chorister. Missed shifts incur a $300 penalty which the office will collect by cashing a cheque.
