By Matthew McCully – The cafeteria at Alexander Galt Regional High School was bustling Sunday with hundreds of community members out to support the Prom Fairies annual bingo fundraiser. The volunteers were decked out in green or purple manning a variety of stations throughout the cafeteria. See full story in the Monday, April 8 edition of The Record.

Funds raised will be used to help around a dozen local youth look and feel their best for graduation.

In addition to the main bingo event, there were dozens of opportunities to win prizes donated from local businesses.

The local Beaver troop was on hand at the Prom Fairies Bingo event on Sunday. According to leader Rose Fowler McVety, the Beavers are required to do a certain amount of community service in order to get their badges and move up in the organization. They walked around with trays helping to clean up garbage from the tables and floor in the cafeteria.
