CASINO - SIGN UP FOR YOUR SHIFT NOW

posted May 3, 2023, 4:05 PM

Mark your calendars now - Wednesday, August 23 and Thursday, August 24, 2023 are our next casino dates!

There are 36 positions to fill and 31 skaters registered in 2022-23 Pre-STAR, STAR and Podium Pathway programs. Needless to say, we are serious when we say that every skater is responsible for working at least one shift.

If you cannot work the shift yourself, you are responsible for finding an adult to work it for you. I hope you recall agreeing to the "Casino Volunteer Commitment" policy when you registered this year.

If you have never volunteered to work a casino, do not stress, Val Laferriere (your Casino Coordinator) will find the right job for you. To sign-up for a shift or get an answer to a question about the casino, email Val - Casino Coordinator

Day Shift (11:00am - 7:30pm)
Evening Shift (7:00pm - 3:30am)
Count Room Shift (11:00pm - 3:30am)

Supports for Volunteers:

· If you live outside the greater Calgary area there are a couple of things the Club can do to assist member families. In the past, once the final schedule has been circulated, our volunteer families have gotten together to arrange carpooling where possible. The carpool driver may claim a $50 reimbursement for gas at the close of the casino.

· In addition, those working the night shift or count room, are eligible for that night's hotel accommodation. The club will be block booking and paying for rooms as needed. Please advise the Casino Coordinator (Val) if you require a hotel room and you will be given booking instructions.
