Page 17-THE NEWS-November, 1988 In and Around the JCC Casino Nite Was a Safe Bet! The Jewish Community Center’s 1st emnual Casino Nite will long be remembered as one of the highlight events of the year. Nearly 250 people packed Gorelick Hall to play Blackjack, Craps, Roulette and Chuck-O'Luck while being entertained by Ms. Daryl Ryce. Daryl Ryce’s beautiful and intriguing voice, comple mented by her piano and guitar, provided a gentle balance to the excitement tak ing place just a few feet away at the gaming tables; most of which stayed active right down to the last minute, around 10:45 p.m. The desserts were varied and outrageously delicious; from the different sizes and flavors of cheesecakes to the chocolate “blackout” cakes, to the bobkas and rugalach. If anyone was counting calories instead of gaming chips, the dessert tables were definitely not the place to be. A special thanks to George Schmaren Bakery and Morningstar Bakery for supplying such delicious pastries. Capping the evening was an auction skillfuUy c^ed by Doug Little of Lucky Dia mond Parties, Inc. Winners at the gaming tables used their “markers” to bid on over two dozen gift items. Included in the auction were complimen tary dinners at Byrums, Fen wicks, The Royal Palace, El CanCun, The Cajun Queen and Our Gang; gift certificates at Paul Simon and Yours Truly Needlepoint; free massages, babysitting, and courses at the “J”, plus books, gifts and more.
