Once again Imanta is hosting a casino event. Volunteers make it work! Our involvement in AGLC casinos helps us to keep running our scholarship, senior’s and children’s programs.  Without the funding that AGLC distributes to us, we would not be able to keep these programs going. The casino event will run from April 27 to April 28, 2025 at Century Casino, 13103 Fort Road NW, Edmonton. Please consider signing up for a shift or two! We will even provide you with a meal! You can work both days, but casino rules prevent signing up for two different shifts. Both shifts have to be in the same position. Volunteers can use a cab service to get to and from the Casino. Keep your receipts and present them to a board member of Imanta and we will reimburse you!

We are using SignUp (the leading online SignUp and reminder tool) to organize our upcoming casino event.

Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:

1) Click this link to see our SignUp time slots –Sign up Link
2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
