Call for Volunteers – 2011 Casino

The Westmount Charter School Parent Fundraising Society
(WCSPFS) ran a two-day casino in 2009 that provided over $67,000,
which provided for band equipment, music computers, library resources
and physical education equipment.

WCSPFS is running another casino on October 26 and 27, 2011 and requires volunteers to assist. You require no experience, and we
have two hired casino advisors directing our activities. You do not need to know how to gamble or how to play any games. In fact, we are not
allowed to play for the duration of our 2-day casino.

The casino will be held at Stampede Casino, a non-smoking facility centrally located at 421 12 Avenue SE. This facility has free underground parking.
