Casino Volunteers Needed!
We are currently needing some kind folks willing to give their time to fill some casino positions!
If you are interested in working our casino, please fill out the application form by September 15th. If you would like to apply and it is past the deadline, please do so anyway. Backups are always greatly appreciated!
When: October 12-13, 2022

If you’ve never worked a casino before, have no fear! You will be well-trained, fed, and assisted in having some fun while checking out something that you may not normally get to see! Plus, you would be helping us out in one of our most important fundraisers of the year. We hope you’ll consider joining us!
Volunteers will receive a meal, as well as snacks and refreshments during their shift(s). For each shift volunteered, we will be offering a pair of tickets to either our upcoming Rainbow Visions Film Festival, any special NWF screenings presented in October 2022, or the 2023 NorthwestFest Film Festival. Volunteer's choice!
