Bingo: North Branch Bingo hall has nonsmoking night
NORTH BRANCH, Michigan -- Nonsmoking night at the American Legion hall? Bingo!
Legion Post 457 in downtown North Branch is getting ahead of the smoke-ban curve in Michigan this month as it tests out its new "Smoke Free Bingo" nights.
"We need at least 40 people to break even, and we had 42 bingo players the first night," Mills said. "On an average night we have 70 to 90 bingo players, and when the pot is big, as many as 120."

Legion Post 457 in downtown North Branch is getting ahead of the smoke-ban curve in Michigan this month as it tests out its new "Smoke Free Bingo" nights.
Sue Collinge of North Branch said she appreciated her husband's thoughtfulness when he would leave his smoky clothes in the garage after Bingo night at the post, where he is commander.
She attended for the first time Sunday, on the first nonsmoking Bingo night.
Organizer Diane Mills said they sought four special Bingo licenses from the state, good for each Sunday in May, but if things go well they will purchase a year-long license."We need at least 40 people to break even, and we had 42 bingo players the first night," Mills said. "On an average night we have 70 to 90 bingo players, and when the pot is big, as many as 120."
The next nonsmoking Bingo is 4-7 p.m. Sunday, and again on May 18 and May 25. Doors open at 3 p.m.
Regular Bingo, with smoking permitted, will continue on Wednesday nights. Minimum admission is a $1 yellow card and you must be at least 18 to play.
