The casino event is May 9 & 10 and shifts are available all day and evening long. I won’t get into specific details here… but if you would consider lending a hand then we can continue the conversation. I promise FUN! Excitement! Good conversation! FREE FOOD and DRINKS! And a sense of pride at supporting and volunteering! Please send me an email: ryanluhning@telus.net or even a text message: 403.613.8114 and I can fill you in on all the details! Thank you for your consideration! Best, Ryan [/et_pb_blurb]
