Electronic Verification!

In April '04 The Northwest Community Center updated their bingo machine to enable them to electronically verify all winners at their Saturday night bingo session as well as the Monday night session sponsored by The Gymnastic Academy of Rockford Booster Club. Thanks to the donation of a 35” color television by Mr. Dave Swanson the electronic verifier is accompanied by video monitoring of the next ball up. Players love the chance to play one ball ahead of the caller and not have to worry about missing a number because some one cracked a joke or groaned about needing one certain number. The electronic verifier helps pick up the pace of the game by eliminating the need to call back every number on a card, and the video monitor allows for a more relaxed time during play. A perfect combination!

Then, in May, the Center was blessed with another windfall. When Mr. Rex Brinkmeier became the lucky winner of the $5000.00 Starburst Raffle he offered to donate another monitor to give more players a better view of the electronic verifier. As if that wasn’t enough, while shopping for the new monitor Rex decided to buy not one, but two 20” flat screen monitors. The Center is very grateful for the generous donations of Mr. Brinkmeier and Mr. Swanson.

The goal at Northwest now, is to add a couple more monitors to improve the view for everyone in the hall and increase the size of the stage for the caller as well as for the people who use The Willard J Corbett Building for events other than bingo. They plan to install a DVD player, a VHS player, (both donated by Mr. Swanson) and computer for presentations at meetings and parties. If your family, company, or organization is looking for a place to host their next party, banquet, or other function, you should keep Northwest Community Center in mind.
