What are you doing this weekend?
Go play some bingo! A Bingo Fling will be at the Manteca Senior Center, 295 Cherry Lane, on Saturday, June 13, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Your hands will shake and your heart will flutter when the announcer will call the numbers and you will mark them hoping for a win. There will be regular bingo, special bingo games and a raffle and guess what, all prizes are cash! Tickets include event admission, “All-American Meal” and a six-pack of bingo cards. There is only one catch, you must be at least 18 years old to attend, so no children are allowed to the Bingo Fling. Which on the other hand makes a nice night out with only your spouse or friends. See you there! Price: $15 Learn more at http://community.mantecabulletin.com/events/detail/14754/

It’s time to enjoy all the fresh fruit and vegetables that the Central Valley has to offer. St. Joseph’s Foundation is hosting a farm-to-table event on Saturday, June 13, called “Farm to Heart” where fresh produce will make its way to your plate. Only locally grown produce will be used for appetizers, dinner and desserts. Given that more than 230 crops grows in the Central Valley and it’s the (almost) sole producer of tomatoes, almonds, grapes, cotton, apricots, and asparagus, the dinner options sounds pretty tasty! Visit the Lincoln Farmhouse off March Lane near Brookside (the old Grupe House, 3225 Deer Park Drive, Stockton) and enjoy the delicious evening. Farmers Market themed cocktail hour starts at 6:30 p.m. Price: $175 Learn more at: http://www.supportstjosephshospital.org/index.htm
