May 8 update: https://mailchi.mp/024418aa7f04/810-air-cadet-2018-casino-event-671465?e=de6553b580
Who
You! We need approximately forty shifts covered by parents and friends of the squadron. Volunteers must be over the age of 18 and some positions require a background check by the AGLC.
What
Volunteers staff certain positions in the casino over a two day period and in exchange receive a portion of the pooled proceeds for their organization. This generall equates to somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 towards squadron programming that helps our cadets flourish.
Shifts range from General Manager to count room staff. You can see a list of duties for each role by clicking here. No experience is required and full training will be provided. Volunteers receive a meal and you'll have a chance to meet other parents and volunteers.
Why
Casinos offer a large cash influx every two years and ensure that our cadets can continue to receive the benefits of the program. Casino fund-raising is a key funding initiative in keeping the 810 Squadron operating each year. We need your help to ensure that we are able to fulfill our obligations to receive this funding.
Where
Details to follow soon.
When
July 16 & 17, 2018. There are day and night time shifts that will need to be covered.
