Healing Hearts

Casino Night

Benefit will raise funds for Grief Support Session COMFORT – Healing Hearts Casino Night is set for Saturday, May 4, at Hilltop Camp in Comfort to raise money for the Grief Support Session at Hermann Sons Life Camp. Members and their guests are invited to come out for a night of food and games in the Hilltop Dining Hall. Cost is only $50 per person. Only 150 tickets will be sold. The fun begins at 6 p.m. with a steak dinner that includes a salad and baked potato. At 7 p.m. the gaming begins with casinostyle Black Jack and roulette as well as Texas Hold ‘Em poker and slots. Each ticket holder will receive $1,000 in chips to get them start-

ed. More chips will be sold throughout the evening. When the games end at 10 p.m., everyone who still has chips will have a chance to win some awesome prizes. The evening will also include a silent auction and door prizes. A cash bar will be available. All proceeds from the event will benefit the third Grief Support Session scheduled this year for June 30-July 3. This special session will once again be available to children ages 6 to 17 who have lost a parent or sibling.

Hermann Sons Life will partner with the Children’s Bereavement Center to provide a half-week camp experience that includes therapy sessions to help these children on their healing path. Fund-raisers like this casino night and other donations make it possible for the children to attend at no cost to the family (except for a $50 assessment fee). To purchase tickets, go online to hermannsonslife.org and click on “Store.” Lodges and individuals can contribute See CASINO, Pg. 8
