Becker’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon (BTYR) committee held its Turkey Bingo event last Saturday at Pebble Creek, and the results were a gobbling success.

Ten games of bingo were called, with winners claiming a $50 prize and a nice sized turkey.  For the blackout games (fifth and 10th on the schedule), the lucky winners also claimed a turkey fryer that they could use just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

As with past BTYR events, the crowd was a robust “standing room only” size, as many community members came out to support the committee.

Becker’s BTYR is a comprehensive program that creates awareness for the purpose of connecting service members and their families with community support, training, services, and resources.

Some of their services include being a support group for veterans at the community level, helping service member families when a spouse is deployed, assistance in finding employment for Veterans and creating community events for military families and families to come together.

According to local BTYR organizer Kent Graning, the group is already making plans for their annual Meat Bingo event in February and the committee wishes to send their sincere gratitude to the citizens and businesses in the Becker community for the ongoing support.
