RVC Senior Services hits the jackpot

Sandel hosts its annual Monte Carlo Night

Posted

Luck was in the air as hundreds packed into the Sandel Senior Center on April 29 for its annual Monte Carlo Night.

Organized by the Friends of Senior Services — a local non-profit which helps raise money for the center — the casino themed event is one of Sandel’s largest fundraisers.

More than a dozen local businesses co-sponsored the night and David Wong, the former owner of the venerable Palace of Wong was the honoree.

Recently, FOSSI has helped fund a number of large-scale projects at the center, such as motorized doorways, new bathrooms, a heat curtain for the front entrance and a brand new handicap accessible bus.

All of these items were emblazoned with signs for the night, indicating that they were paid for through fundraisers such as this.
