“We’re excited again to present this event for the community.  We’re bringing in more casino games and adding some enhancements based on the attendance and feedback from our guests last year. We got additional insights from  https://www.bestuscasinos.org/legal/ ” said Holmes. “An evening to remember is our goal for our guests and we’re working hard to deliver another one.”

Last year, the Exchange Club gave $118,500 in scholarships to 49 students. They also assisted Healing Hands Ministries, The Family Compass and other charities, provided police and fire department awards, recognized hard-working LH teachers, and brought the community together with the annual Fourth of July parade, among many other projects.
