Flood '09 Casino Night was created to commemorate the cresting of the Flood of 2008. It was a devastating disaster that hit our community, and we were all affected by this horrible tragedy. This community has really come together to help out in any way possible. Casino Night '09 is just a chance for our community to come together for the greater good. All the proceeds made from this event will go toward helping rebuild the community.
Personnel: We will be having the President of the University, Sally Mason speak on behalf of the University staff and faculty. We will also be having some local residents speak on how the flood affected them and how they have worked through this devastation. Also we will have Coach Ferentz speak during this benefit.
