Blackjack Dealers Needed For Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation Event

The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation has been selected as the Charity of Choice for the MISA (Municipal Information Systems Association) conference being hosted by the City of Vernon, September 14 to 17, 2010. As the Charity of Choice we have been asked to supply the conference with a number of volunteers. One of the areas that we hope the JCIs can help us out is with volunteer Casino dealers.

On Thursday night, September 16, from 8 pm to 1 am, we need to provide the conference with approximately 20 casino dealers. There will be 12 casino tables and we are looking at providing additional dealers so people can have breaks. The conference organizers will provide a training session immediately before the tables open so between 8 and 9 pm. Tables open at 9! The event is being held in the Wesbild Centre.

We would appreciate you advertising our need for volunteers and hopefully they will have a good time doing it.

If you need further details just email or call. Thanks so much!
