Mother/Son Casino Night Recap

On Saturday, May 8, 2010, Dolphin Force Foundation held its fifth annual Mother/Son Casino Night. It was attended by over 300 moms and sons. They enjoyed an evening of exciting games, desserts, silent auctions, and prizes. Best of all, each duo received a photograph to take home as a memento of the event.  

Revenue generated from the event totaled over $6,000 and will be applied to future DHHS improvements, including the current technology upgrades campaign.

It takes an incredible amount of time and effort to organize an event of this size. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee of volunteers that made this entertaining event possible; Julie Hayward, Maureen Kennedy, Kris Vroom, Geri McCann, Donna Schwarm, Ellen Wilbur, Yvonne Albert, Kristen Robelotto, Connie Norland, Shani Moslehi and Martha McNicholas. As always, it takes a small army to orchestrate the event itself and we are indebted to the spouses of the committee who worked that night, as well as Mila Evanovich and the Be the Change Club students, the McNicholas family who did all the photography and the student volunteers who helped with set-up, clean-up and baking. 

Of course, no event would be successful without the support of the community merchants of which there are too many to list here, however we are most thankful for their generosity. For a complete listing of community donors, visit blog.dolphinforce.com
 
We are looking forward to another exciting Mother/Son event next year and hope to see you there, so mark your calendars for Saturday, May 7, 2011.
