lllucas 0 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi, Everybody! :-) In the posted message titled "Asking Pres to Step Down", member Diana mentioned that she had an automatic Bingo caller which had come from Avon. She has had many responses from people wanting to purchase one of the callers for use in their facilities. No one has been able to find it anywhere. :-x Because of the response to Diana's mention of the Bingo Caller, I decided that it should become a posted message of its own. Perhaps someone can help us find the little gizmo. :pint: If you have any clues to the manufacturer of the Bingo Caller, please let us know so we can track it down and add it to our Activity Department equipment. You will be regarded as a Saint! ;-) Following is the letter I received from Avon on 11/22/04. The Avon rep suggests that Avon might bring the caller back if they received lots and lots of requests for it. Avon's e-mail address is: dearavon@avon.com . Please make your request known. 8-) Sincerely, Linda Lucas, AD ;-) The Activity Director's Office http://www.theactivitydirectorsoffice.com __________________________________ Hello Linda, I have received your message regarding Talking Bingo.

Diana 0 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi LInda, yes, the name on the Bingo caller is Excaliber, I think. I am at home today due to flooding in San Antonio - so I don't have it in front of me. I'll double check the name, but I am almost sure that is it. I'll take a look at any addresses or phone numbers or numbers as such on it. I'll keep you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacy 0 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 We use this product too. It is great. Definitly worth it. We had ours donated, and use it all the time. Thanks for tracking that item down. I know I will save the site, never know when it will be needed to be replaced. Stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
