The Red Deer Kinsmen is offering a night of fun to benefit the Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer’s Camp Alexo project.
In celebration of its 75th anniversary, and to help with the camp’s much-needed building upgrades, the local club is hosting a Funny Money Casino on June 14 at the Quality Inn North Hill (at 7150 50th Ave.).
The event will kick off with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. before proceeding into a period of appetizers and a small presentation on the work of the Youth and Volunteer Centre and the Kinsmen in Red Deer.
The casino portion, featuring professional dealers and tables, will run from 8 to 11 p.m.
There will also be a silent auction and prizes to be awarded.
Tickets are $25 per person and are available from any Kinsmen member, or through club president Len Sisco at 403-304-2066 or siscoleonard@gmail.com.
Only 200 tickets are being printed for the event.
Camp Alexo, located west of Nordegg, has been running for 33 years, with volunteers from the Youth and Volunteer Centre providing a camp experience for underprivileged kids throughout the summer.
