Players dress up, ante up for good cause

Caasino night is one of LARA's big fundraisers. Last year's event raised $12,800, which included a matching grant from the Degenstein Foundation.

While the foundation will provide a flat grant amount this year to LARA, Casimir expected a profit of several thousand dollars from the special night.

Beth Lewis, of Datman Productions of Williamsport, that provided the games, said nine blackjack tables were set up and more would probably be added.

Roxanne Lupold, of Unforgettable Events of Mifflinburg, coordinated the night for the second consecutive year. "We are holding our own competing with the hospital gala. Everything has gone smoothly. The guests are enjoying it very much," she said.

So much that Pedro Valdes, of Winfield, who provided the wine from Argentina, expected to run out of glasses. That also happened last year.
