So close! Valentina Castellano (right) gets amped up when she realizes she’s just a few spaces away from winning as she plays bingo next to Julietta Stone.

Making memories with some mother-daughter bonding, Mamaroneck resident Anita Casey and her 6-year-old daughter Lucy sit side-by-side to work on a yarn craft together.
