t always been a big fund-
!r. The first Casino night 10
Is ago was put together by
t 25 people in Puryear
ge. It cleared approximate-
1200.
Casino ’83 workers began
organizing the evening last fall.
Local merchants have donated
more than $4,000 worth of
prizes. Meetings, held every two
weeks this semester, assured
chairman Kevin Bailey that the
work was moving according to
schedule, he said Thursday.
“I never thought I’d get it all
together,” Bailey said. “But it’s
gone rather smoothly. I’ve got
good people.”
Those people include three
co-chairmen, 20 subchairmen,
more than 200 dealers and casi
no girls and 1 1 members of the
Corps of Cadets who will handle
security.
“The enthusiasm is tremen
dous,” he said. “People call
wanting to help all the time. It’s
something you can have a lot of
fun with, yet it’s beneficial.”
The job of coordinating Casi
no night has been fun, Bailey
said.
“But I’d be lying if I said at
times it wasn’t frustrating.
There’s such a large amount of
people and administration to
deal with,” he said.
The administration was help
ful in scheduling meeting
rooms, obtaining facilities to set
up the games and in working
around Parent’s Day activities,
Bailey said.
“Everyone has just worked
hard,” he said.
Two training sessions have
been held for dealers and casino
girls where basic rules of the
games were taught. Trainees
also were given instructions on
how to deal with the gamblers as
well as the cards.
“The Casino girls and dealers
have more fun than anyone
else,” he said. “They’re there for
four hours, and the time goes by
fast.”
