Try your luck at Palatine Rotary's Casino Night

The Rotary Club of Palatine is holding a casino night which is open to the public on Friday, Feb. 6, at the newly renovated American Legion Hall 122 W. Palatine Road, in Palatine, to raise funds for Rotary and Rotary Charities.

"Come out between 5 p.m. and midnight, play some Blackjack, try your luck at the Money Wheel and have some fun," said Liz Noe, Casino Night project chairman. "For a $5 entry fee you'll also be able to enjoy other cash games of poker, Texas Hold'Em and Over & Under Dice Roll. Come by for a few minutes or stay for a few hours."

Noe added this is one of the major fundraisers for the Rotary Club of Palatine.

A full-service bar will be open for the casino night and another full-service bar will be open downstairs in the clubroom.

"Our goal is to make these friendly neighborhood games," said Noe. "We encourage camaraderie between the players as well as with their dealers."

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. The Rotary Club of Palatine represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women.

The main objective of Rotary is service - in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy and violence. They also support programs for youth, including leadership and educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
