Next week: Casino Night!



Save the date - Friday, April 26 from 7:00 -10:00 p.m. - for an evening of fun, food, music, and gambling at the Vineland Public Library.  The Library’s Foundation invites you to its annual Casino Night, where this year’s theme is “Calypso Casino”.  You will enjoy scrumptious food and games of chance to the reggae and island beat tunes of the Steel Horizons Pan Group.  Also on tap are a cash bar, door prizes, the chance to win a big flat screen TV, a Resorts Weekend Getaway, and lots of other exciting prizes.

Each year the Foundation sponsors a major event devoted to its Library Capital Improvement Fund. This year’s goal is to raise $10,000 towards a roof and window replacement project. If you’ve visited the Library recently on a rainy day – you know just how much work is needed to keep the books and computers dry. 
There’s no better way to support this project than by getting together a group of friends to share the fun.  Tickets are available at the Library or from any Foundation Board member.  They are yours for a donation of $45, which also buys you $25 of players’ money – food and soft drinks, music and camaraderie – not to mention the chance to bet high and win big.   Call 856-794-4244 for information.

Please come and join us and remember: Don’t worry, be happy…   at The Calypso Casino.
