Get to know your neighborhood with a fun Bingo game! Created by members of the neighborhood association for the Firefighter's Park area in Evanston, the game can be played by anyone who lives outside of the campus -- student or non-student neighbor alike.  All you need to do is complete a row down, a row across, or a diagonal by getting the stamp, or signature, or information required for each of the squares. Completing the card and sharing with OCL will earn you a prize! Completed cards can be submitted to the OCL office directly (Scott Hall, 601 University Place, lower level) or via email (offcampuslife@northwestern.edu). Game ends December 1, 2026.
