CASINO NIGHT A COMPLETE SUCCESS!

The first WVBC major fundraiser is under our belt and what a FUN Night we all had.......

Not more than a week before the event was to take place I was looking at a grim count of 50+ people who had signed up and I thought sure all the hard work that was going into it was not going to give us a very worthy net gain. In the end we raised over $900 for the VBC Annual Expo Event! The WVBC Team did a great job of executing the event and are very 
proud of their hard work!


To my astonishment I am happy to report that we rallied and ended up with 93 people in attendance for a terrific night of fun & games. Once people took places at their gaming tables there was very little movement all night long. Everyone seemed engrossed in their games with many a serious gamers face but many smiles when luck struck as well. I did see lots of smiles overall but the loudest and most cheerful bunch were those playing the dice games who regularly would throw up their hands, laugh, hoot, and holler as they played their games. In fact there were by standers wanting to get into the game but no one was giving up their seats! Someone requested adding a table which I doubted would be possible but when I brought it to Zam's attention, she immediately went into customer service mode and added another table of dice games for more to enjoy. We thank her for her willingness to please.

A BIG thanks goes out to Nissan Representative and Villages Billiards Club member Bobbi Yush, for making us aware of this opportunity with Nissan as a partial sponsor and introducing us to Zam, owner operator of Shazam who runs gaming events in the Villages. Additionally, this could not have been done without our many volunteers. I hope you will find a moment to say Thanks to each of them as I am doing here on behalf of the WVBC/VBC and our efforts to bring you our Annual Billiard Expo.

THANK YOU ALL!
