Catholic Explorer :: Closing the generation gap with a game of bingo

Valentine’s Day has been called a Hallmark holiday—a day when people express their love by sending cards to those they care about.

Showing someone you care can require a lot more effort than purchasing a greeting card or a bouquet of flowers. A group of Darien Cub Scouts donated a Sunday afternoon to show residents at the Carmelite Carefree Village retirement home how much they care. The scouts showed up Feb. 3 to play games and interact with the senior residents.

Thirty members of Cub Scout Pack 36, which is sponsored by the Darien Lions Club, turned up on Super Bowl Sunday to play bingo and chitchat with the seniors. The annual event has been held for 12 years, according to Christine Klassek, program director at the Darien facility.

“It’s really a wonderful time,” Klassek explained over the phone prior to the annual function. “The children come in their uniforms and sit with the residents and engage in conversation. Sometimes they sing songs with the seniors and they usually play games like bingo.”
