Thanks to those who attended, our prize winners (pictured below), & Mayor Lauren Garrett who spoke on behalf of Chris Smith and updated the attendees on Hamden’s animal shelter progress. Lastly, thanks to our hosts; The Playwright Irish Pub and Digital Tracks Entertainment.
There will be a “musical Bingo” event at The Playwright Irish Pub & Restaurant on Thursday, April 21st, called MIXTAPE MATCH. As our host plays songs, you mark your scorecard just like traditional Bingo. No musical knowledge is necessary. Categories that evening will be:
- Motown/R&B (60’s + 70’s)

There will be prizes awarded for each round. We have use of the pub & restaurant to spread out into so please sit wherever you feel comfortable. This fundraiser is not based on sales.
