Florence Peter

Bingo Helper/Clerk

Florence Peter is a bingo helper and clerk. She is employed by the City of Marshall and her boss is Alvin Owletuck Sr. She works between one and six hours per day in the city office. Florence works with people who are on welfare. She does quarterly reports every three months,and she also opens the community hall for bingo so everything can be set up to start the games. There are 14 nights of bingo per month and each night they play 20 to 25 games. She mainly works with the other bingo players, but in the office she works alone. She is getting paid $8.50 an hour and her pay is raised every July depending on how much profit is being made.

The best thing about her job is working with math, making sure the gross amount earned from bingo tallies with the number of games played. The worst thing about her job is when she hears people complain about having too much bingo. Her advice to the young students is to pay attention in math, finish high school and go to college.
