The inclusion of The Raiders in the show line up was an error that resulted from a misunderstanding in a telephone call.

The corps has reached a point with the state lottery that a new bingo permit is likely. The corps will be accepting inquiries about membership now.

The Malden City Council gave its approval for East Coast Jazz to operate a bingo game on Sunday nights at the VFW hall in Malden. It took a year for the corpr to get through the council process but, thanks to our board president John Preziosa's persistence, the result was very positive. The vote went 9 yes to 2 no. The next step will be convincing the Mass Lottery Comission to issue the license after all the problems in 2006 caused by the passage of the statewide, indoor non-smoking law. The VFW is located next door to Malden Catholic High School that draws 675 people every Sunday afternoon. There should be a lot players looking for a "double header".

One of the most successful bingo games in the state is operated by Malden Catholic HS, drawing 675 people on Sunday afternoons. The East Coast bingo is planned for Sunday evenings at the VFW hall only two buildings away. When MC bingo lets out EC will be opening its doors. These two bingos operated this way for 20 years with great success. The hope is for $30,000 a year. There are a half dozen bingos in the area that are still making money.

It's usuallly the West Coast that gets the benefit of early season inflation. But, the small lineup could have had something to do with it. Plus, you have to be able to keep up as the season progresses. They didn't last year.
