Half my family lives there and there needs to be some changes to be done. Like the Pyramid scam they are pulling on the Residence there with the Bingo night on Friday evenings. You should never have to pay $1.00 for a card and to only win $0.25 for each Bingo. Then the person who is running the game shouldn't be allowed to play, but she has another person play her Multiple card's and she doesn't have to pay for her Multiple card's. But her card's are always winner's. So there should be prizes to be won not $0.25 here and there or not at all!!! They get enough money from each Residence each month, then there should be plenty of prizes for Bingo night... But I think that the lady steals the rest of the money.
