MARCH 2008 AT OUT OF BOUNDS

The big question this month is: GREENVILLE, ARE YOU READY FOR GAY BINGO?!? We’ve done it once, we’ve done it twice, and now it’s time for ANOTHER round of NOTCHA MAMA’S BINGO! Come join us at Saffron’s on March 15th at 8PM for food, fun, and of course Bingo! January’s session of Notcha Mama’s Bingo was a raging success and we doubled our attendance. A great time was had by all and we raised hundreds of dollars for our January recipient, AID Upstate. Saffron’s was so impressed with our last turnout that they have agreed to cater concessions for this next session! A drink bar will also be available during the event. With Saint Patrick’s Day following two days later, our theme this time is going revolve around the good green saint, so be sure to wear your best greens to the festivities! 70 % of the event’s proceeds will go to Piedmont Care. Notcha Mama’s Bingo is a Bi-Monthly Event sponsored and coordinated by MCC UPstate. Visa, Amex, and Discover will be accepted for Bingo Games Only. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an Adult. Stay Tuned to this Blog and our Current Events Calendar for more information about upcoming sessions of Notcha Mama’s Bingo!

We are doing our best to make every visit to Out of Bounds a pleasant and easy shopping experience! We’ve also brought in a host of new items: Lubes, Massage Oils, Toys, Hardware, Wallets, and Socks...just to mention a few! If you’ve been to the store and haven’t seen an item you’re seeking, please let us know! We’ll do our best to stock it in the store or even special order it for you! If you think of something now or when you are away from the store, feel free to email us at oobsales@charterinternet.com and let us know what you’d like us to carry.
