Optimists gamble for a good cause in Idaho

The Meridian Optimist Club is gearing up for a weekend of casino-style fun. That's right, on Saturday, February 23, 2013,  for the 5th year in a row, the club will host Luck o' the Irish Casino Night. This is a joint fund raiser with the Meridian Firefighters and the Meridian Food Bank. Proceeds also benefit the Meridian Optimist Youth Training Center.

It's a fun evening with blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker. Plus there are raffles and prizes for lucky winners. Click to enlarge the flyer and find out more.

In case one night of gambling for a good cause isn't enough, the Twin Falls Optimist Club will host its famous 37th Annual Lost Wages fund raiser on March 8, 2013 at Canyon Crest Event Center. Click here to learn more.
