Casino Volunteers Needed!!

Urgent need for about 10 volunteers to complete our Casino team for Sunday October 24 and Monday October 25. The positions that are still available, including day and time, are in the table below.  The location is Century Casino in St. Albert: Century Casino St. Albert (cnty.com). Note that the casino requires proof of vaccination for all guests so you will be volunteering in a Covid-safe environment.

Reasons why you should help out:

• If we don’t provide enough volunteers, we will lose out on about $15,000 support and we will lose out on the opportunity for other casinos in the future. These funds make a significant difference to our operation and fee structure
• The staff on-site will help you with all your duties as a volunteer
• You get free food!!, a chance to get to know some fellow club members a little better and while the shifts seem long, there is lots of time to relax, read, watch tv, eat, take it easy until you are needed
• Many people volunteer all season long to support the operation of the club and we all enjoy the benefits of their work. By working one shift, this is your chance to contribute to the ongoing success of our club and the many community benefits it provides.

The Government of Alberta, Community Initiatives Program, and City of St. Albert Community Capital Grant Program Grant Funding Approved

The Government of Alberta through its Community Initiatives Program, and the City of St. Albert, 2020 Community Capital Program Grant, provided grant funding to assist our Club with financial support for our bench replacement project for our Tennis Courts.  We were awarded $4,191 from the Government of Alberta and $1,886 from the City of St. Albert.  Here is Stephen on one of the new benches showing proper social distancing technique!  Thanks to the volunteers who spent Friday morning, April 30, assembling and setting these up. 

 St. Albert has branded itself as Alberta’s Botanical Arts City, which signals their intent  to support various economic and social development initiatives. As a long time city organization, the Saint Albert Tennis Club actively participates in helping St. Albert achieve their goals for our community. 

 Speaking of Botany, make sure you enjoy the flowers around the Clubhouse!  

Public hours are: M--F 11:30 to 12:30 & Sun. 4:00 to 6:00 pm.
