URGENT: Casino Volunteers NEEDED!

Casino Volunteers - URGENT

We are 2 weeks away from our casino and still are missing many volunteers that are required to run this event.

If we don't get the volunteers required, the AGLC will no longer allow us to hold future casinos. The funds received from our casinos, usually $70,000+, help fill the gaps to support our children's education. These funds are extremely important for the students and we cannot afford to lose it.

Please reach out to all of your contacts, whether extended family, neighbours, or friends, and see if we can get these last slots filled up as soon as possible. Details of the casino are below.

Dates: Monday, June 16 & Tuesday, June 17 (Night Shifts & Backups are needed)

Where: Deerfoot Casino (11500 35 Street SE)

No experience is necessary as there are advisors that help all volunteers every step of the way. Also, note that no police clearance is required. Details can be found on the signup sheet. Please use the link.
