School of Pharmacy Relay for Life Team Vera Bradley Bingo (P-1,2,3,4): The School of Pharmacy Relay for Life Team is having a Vera Bradley Bingo this Saturday (April 5th) from 6:00-8:00 PM at the Health Sciences Center Main Auditorium. We have over $1200 worth of merchandise and all of the items are the new spring Vera Bradley patterns. Please invite all of your friends to attend!!! Admission is $20.00 and we will be playing 20 games of bingo and selling raffle tickets for other prizes. Refreshments will be sold.

The Vera Bradley Bingo will be a lot of fun, but we need several people to volunteer to set up the event and to make baked goods to sell. If you plan on attending the Bingo, just come an hour early to help out and get community service hours. Also, we will need lots of baked goods (individually wrapped to sell for $0.50) so you can still help out by baking even if you cannot attend the bingo. Baked goods can be dropped off inside the John Jones at lunch on Friday. Please email cfields@sole.wvu.edu if you have any questions or if you are willing to bake/setup for the bingo.
