CAPE ‘Las Vegas Night’ to benefit Canton schools

Gamble on an excellent evening at Las Vegas Night, hosted by the Canton Alliance for Public Education on Friday, March 19, from 7 p.m. to midnight at Lombardo’s in Randolph.

“Relax, enjoy yourself and have a fun night out for a good cause,” said co-chair Courtney Stubelis.

Fifty dollars per person includes dinner, DJ, and a token for free chips.

“We’re hoping it will be exciting,” said co-chair Kelly McGowan. “This is more like a party than a dinner. There will be a lot of mingling. People will come together from all over the town.”

You must register in advance. To secure a spot for the evening, contact either Stubelis at courtdupee@yahoo.com or McGowan at job51@comcast.net.

Rent A Casino has been hired for the evening. Tables include Texas Hold ’em, craps, roulette, Black Jack and a money wheel.

Dinner stations for salads and pastas, pizza, veggies, dips, crackers and cheese, dessert and coffee will be set up throughout the decorated hall.

In addition to the casino fun, there will be time to bid on silent and live auction items. A highlight is a raffle for the use of a Mustang convertible from Rodman Ford during the summer months. Top winners at the tables will receive free tickets, in addition to other prizes.

Proceeds go directly into the schools as grants from CAPE, whose purpose is to provide funding for the development of innovative and enriching educational projects within the existing goals and curriculum of the Canton Public Schools. As a partner with both the community and the schools, CAPE raises money to sponsor grants for projects that will successfully achieve this mission.

Since 2004, $125,000 has been raised and 58 grants distributed. For the school year 2009-2010, eight grants have been awarded for a total of $19,351.

Join CAPE for a night of fun at its most important annual fundraising event. From 7 to 8, enjoy cocktails and peruse the auction items. After 8 p.m., try your luck at the gaming tables. At 11, winners of the auction and the raffle will be announced.
