Deal Blackjack for Blue Cap

2nd annual Casino Night needs event sponsors and volunteers to oversee games

Blue Island, IL- Blue Cap needs volunteers and event sponsors for its Casino Night coming up on January 26, 2007. The event will be held at the Tinley Park VFW from 7:00-11:00pm.

There will be training for all scheduled volunteers at a later date closer to the event. Training will be held in the evening at Blue Cap Instructional Center located at 1962 Broadway in Blue Island. To volunteer, please call Jill Hart at (708) 389-8137 Ext. 303 or e-mail her at JillH@blue-cap.org. Please reply no later than January 8, 2007 if you are able to help.
