American Legion 208 in Kerrville became a drop-off point and staging area for state and federal agencies. Ella Turner, an officer with Auxiliary Unit 208 and charitable bingo operator working with Van Meyers (CEO of All Saints Bingo), and Ronnie Baker, a member of Post 133 in Temple and sales manager for All Saints, raised over $125,000 from bingo manufacturers, distributors and charities across North America. Post 133 Commander John Potts put the word out at the state meeting, which raised thousands of dollars more. To date almost $150,000 has been given to those who lost so much. Funds are still being distributed as the community continues to rebuild.
