| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | DECEMBER 2025 | 11 Sun Lakes Committee Reports Tuesday night Bingo is going strong. The Bingo Committee aims to provide entertainment for our guests and raise funds for local charities. We're dark for December but after that, come join the fun, win prizes, and enjoy delicious food and beverages served by our own Restaurant and Lounge. Food and drinks can be purchased with a credit card. All residents and visitors are welcome to buy items. We will play 12 regular games and three special games. Guests can participate for as little as $7 for the entire evening. Remember, only cash is accepted — no checks or credit cards. Many cash prizes and door prizes will be awarded weekly. Doors open at 4:30 pm, and games begin promptly at 6 pm, generally concluding by 8:45 pm. Any questions? Please call Karen at (575) 202-6266.

His strong work ethic, integrity, and dedication make it a pleasure to work with him. The Marketing Committee is proud to congratulate Jim for being the September Employee of the Month for his outstanding job performance. Jim truly deserves this honor and the Visa gift card.
