Sertoma bingo hall for sale | The Argus Leader | argusleader.com.

Sertoma Charity Bingo on Kiwanis Avenue is for sale or lease, and officials with the board that ran the business say they have closed to pay more attention to other efforts and charitable causes.

Noon Sertoma Club board member Tom Simmons said Wednesday the business closed July 12. He said it had been in its present location since 1991 but said bingo had been held at another location before the building was constructed.

Officials said last month that bingo would stop for an undetermined amount of time for remodeling. The video lottery area and kitchen remained open. At the time, board members declined to discuss the remodeling project in detail.

In a statement Wednesday, board members thanked all of their patrons for their support and contributions.

“The Sertoma Club will focus its efforts on the Sertoma Butterfly House and the recent addition, the Purdy Marine Cove, along with other charitable pursuits in Sioux Falls and surrounding communities,” the statement read.

The building is listed for sale with the company Simmons works for, Nelson Property Consultants, for $850,000. It also is available for lease.

Jason Shanks, a board member and spokesman for the group, and Monty Misfeldt, president of the club’s board of directors, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
