Good Afternoon SO Community!
Due to some last minute cancellations we are URGENTLY looking for people to help fill volunteer roles at Pure Yellowhead Casino this weekend.
Shifts we are looking to cover:
TONIGHT May 17 - Count Room - 11:00pm - 3:15 am (multiple spots available)
TOMORROW May 18 - Count Room - 11:00pm - 3:15am (multiple spots available)
If we are unable to fill spots, we may be at risk of losing proceeds from these 2 evenings – these proceeds go directly back into support program opportunities within our community.
Please email Emily at [email protected] or Ally at [email protected] ASAP if you are available to support this weekend. Thank you in advance to those who have already stepped up, and to those who are able to support us last
