Black Tie Bingo 2024: An unforgettable evening!

Black Tie Bingo 2024 was one of the most successful fundraisers to date, and included over 140 guests in attendance.

We had a spectacular lineup of bingo callers: Matthew Stepaniak of Limitless Cycling (also served as our emcee), Stacie Jensen with the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, Michael Wilhelmi from Xcel Energy, Dr. Mike Funk who is the superintendent of Stillwater Area Public Schools, and Megan and Tim Palm who own The Daily Grind! Plus, Dean Dressel, Thrive volunteer, captivated the audience with a keynote message about the power of volunteerism.

Thank you to all who supported Community Thread through donations, ticket purchases, online auction bids, and volunteering! We appreciate your generosity and belief in our work to make the community more engaged, enriched, and connected.
