A Casino Where Nobody Loses<br />
Raising funds is an ongoing process for us at Brighter<br />
Bridge of Weir. When we can, we like to do it in a way<br />
that entertains, and so we have our annual Fun Casino<br />
night, where people can donate by having a great<br />
night out! We could call it fun-raising.<br />
This year it’s on <strong>September</strong> 30th at the British Legion<br />
Club in Livery Walk, as usual, and hosted by the fabulous<br />
Pink Cocktails, also as usual. Doors open 7.30 pm. If you<br />
haven’t been before, do try to come along - you’ll love it! It costs £5 to get<br />
in, and for that you also get a casino chip to play on one of the roulette or<br />
blackjack tables. You have the opportunity to buy ‘fun money’ which you<br />
can exchange for more chips (that’s how we raise the funds). You can buy<br />
as many or as few as you wish. At the end of the night the person with the<br />
highest value of casino chips wins a prize. There are also prizes for second<br />
and third places. And of course, there will be a raffle with prizes too.<br />
There are more details of how it works and pictures of past nights on<br />
previous Facebook posts (facebook.com/brighterbridgeofweir) and on our<br />
web site www.brighterbridgeofweir.org.<br />
