Casino Night, Anyone?
My homeowners association does some pretty cool stuff to try and build a better sense of community. They have movies on the green, blocks parties, pool parties, comedy night, picnics, the list goes on. One of the events that they are planning now is a casino night. If this works out, it is something they want to sponsor on a regular basis. They are even going to get a babysitting coop together so more adults can make it to the event.
The big picture pan is for the association to actually purchase most of the equipment. There is no need to rent poker tables over and over if we are going to use them six to twelve times a year. Plus, the committee in charge of planning the events feels like we can rent out the town hall and the casino equipment to people in the neighborhood who want to have parties of their own. We can purchase Texas Hold’em tables and even game chairs online for a lot less than the local dealers we’ve found so far. And, since we are one of the nicer communities in the area, there is the possibility we can lease our hall and casino goodies to other associations in the area that do not have community facilities. We’re actually hoping to get a lot of use out if the setup.
Personally, I am all over this for fundraising. I think it would be an exciting way to raise a little cash for some of our other events like the annual Easter Egg Hunt and craft days for the kids.
