Chamber Members Cash In During 2010 Casino Night!
Chamber members packed the former Green Hills Grille location, 4429 Kingston Pike, Knoxville (space provided by Commercial & Investment Properties, Co.) during 2010 Casino Night sponsored by UT Federal Credit Union. The odds were in favor of all who attended that they would come away with great new contacts and have fun doing so.
“I don’t know anything about gambling but this is a lot of fun,” said Instiglass of Knoxville President and Co-Owner Teri Owens. “Besides the annual BAH Humbug Christmas party, this is probably the best event the Chamber puts on. The networking opportunities are good, the food is fabulous and there is great turnout. This is really a great function.”
Participants received "funny money" to play with and the night's top winners received door prizes. Fantasy Casino Events provided an authentic casino experience with real games and dealers.
“Casino Night provides another opportunity for our members to enjoy valuable networking time,” said Chamber Vice President of Membership Mark Field. “We think this event is a great idea and our members are really enjoying it. Even though they’re playing with funny money, they’re still very competitive and we’re very glad they’re having such a great time. How else could you have more fun networking than an in an atmosphere such as this.”
Casino Night guests enjoyed food provided by Peerless Restaurant and beverages provided by Eagle Distributing official Chamber beverage sponsor Pepsi.
