An evening of bingo, nachos, and community to support the care and preservation of Los Alamos Cemetery.
This Friday March 20th at 6:00 PM, Friends of Los Alamos Cemetery (FOLAC) invites you to our annual Bingo Night fundraiser at the Los Alamos Valley Men’s Club. FOLAC are grateful to the Mens Club for their gracious hospitality and for helping make this community night possible.
Tickets: $20 in advance / $25 at the door
What to expect: Bingo, nachos, a raffle for door prizes, and a silent auction
Why Bingo Night matters (beyond the fun)
Los Alamos Cemetery is a living record of our community across generations. Caring for it takes steady, ongoing work, things that aren’t always visible day-to-day, but that protect the cemetery’s dignity, safety, and long-term preservation.
- Fundraisers like Bingo Night help turn community spirit into real stewardship. They help fund practical needs like
- Maintenance and beautification
- Repairs and small improvement projects
- Preservation work that helps keep markers and shared areas cared for and “readable” over time
Just as important, Bingo Night brings neighbors together. It’s a reminder that this place belongs to all of us—not only those with family buried there, but everyone who values Los Alamos history and the shared responsibility of care.
Silent auction and raffle (a few highlights)
