Each year, the Buddhist Temple of San
Diego stages various major fundraisers.
All fundraising events are important
because the net income helps fund
Temple operations and an ever
increasing budget.
As the temple moves forward in 2012,
the Board of Directors encourages the
Sangha and BTSD friends to support the
following major fundraising events:
Individually supporting fundraisers, either
monetarily or as a volunteer, are a
tremendous boost to assure the success
of each event. The Temple looks forward
to your participation!

The VFW and BTSD get together each
month to host a "BINGO NIGHT," where
procceds are split between both
organizations. Bingo is usually held on
the fourth Saturday of each month, and
each Bingo session runs from 6 to 9 p.m.
There is a $10 buy-in that includes 12
games of Bingo, and ONE blackout
game. Extra cards may be purchased
for $0.50 oer sheet.
On the nights where no benefit dinner is
scheduled, the VFW offers yummy hot
dogs and chili dogs for just $1, making
Bingo an inexpensive "night out!"
**NO BINGO in DECEMBER.**

The holidays are just around the
corner! If you need gift ideas for family
and friends, try getting a gift through

This month we have posted a highly
condensed list with just a fraction of
