      <title>April Edmonton Food Bank (Tuesday, April 07, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In 2026 let's create a community where no one goes hungry. Contribute your gifts of food, time, and money to make a difference today.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(0, 174, 239);"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#FFF467"&gt;EDMONTON FOOD BANK&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you can join us in February&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;please consider bringing some food along with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;you to donate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://vintagecharacters.ca/resources/Pictures/2024-10-27_12-58-43.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We hope to see you there.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Food Bank&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;on Tuesday April 7th,&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#26282A"&gt;1-4 PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;11508 120 St, Edmonton, AB T5G 2Y2&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is an excellent opportunity to give back and help those in need.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To ensure there is a balance between workers and the work to be accomplished the Food Bank volunteer coordinator has requested volunteers for any event be capped at 20.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Planning to attend?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You need to contact the Vintage Character’s host to register&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Dave Colburn&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;by email&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:davecolb@yahoo.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;davecolb@yahoo.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#26282A" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Also Note: Open toed shoes are not allowed at the Food Bank – please bring&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;your runners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>2026 Casino (Sunday, July 12, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://vintagecharacters.ca/resources/Pictures/2026%20Casino.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;The Society of Vintage Characters provides most of our events at no cost to our membership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;In order to do this our organization works an AGLC licensed casino every other year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#39B54A"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;We are excited to announce our 2026 casino has&amp;nbsp; been scheduled.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;" align="center"&gt;Century Casino Edmonton&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;" align="center"&gt;13103 Fort Rd NW, Edmonton, AB T5A 1C3&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two Dates:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;" align="center"&gt;Sunday July 12 and Monday July 13, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;In order to run the AGLC casino we will be looking for 34 volunteers (17 per day) from our membership to fill the various positions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#39B54A"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Working a casino can be both fun and fulfilling and provides us with the monies needed to continue our programming.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font-size: 18px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: initial; border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td width="623" valign="top" style="border-style: solid; border-color: windowtext; border-width: 1px;"&gt;
        &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Casino Director, Gerry Hofs, can provide you with more information if you have never worked a casino and will also be handling member registration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gerry Hofs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;780-474-5150&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p align="center"&gt;gerryhofs@yahoo.com&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please Note:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;There is a &lt;strong&gt;Casino Volunteer Worker Application form&lt;/strong&gt; you will need to complete.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You can fill out the forms and email them to Gerry or give them to her at a future event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;To access the form&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://aglc.ca/forms/casino-volunteer-worker-application" title="CLICK HERE" target="_blank"&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You only need to fill out the personal information section (middle of the form) and sign.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="" align="center"&gt;DO NOT FILL IN THE TOP PART AND DO NOT FILL IN THE POSITION PART!!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;" color="#39B54A"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We are looking forward to having all the casino positions filled by the end of April.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="" align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;" color="#39B54A"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We hope you will join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
