Assistance League of Birmingham is hosting Casino Night to benefit its three philanthropic programs. The annual event will take place Saturday, March 9 at Vestavia Country Club and will include a buffet dinner, dancing, live and silent auctions, and buy-now boutique. Attendees will receive chips to enjoy a fun night of black jack, craps, Texas Holdem and slot machines.
The league’s all-volunteer membership administers the three nonprofits. PrimeTime Treasures opened in Homewood (located at 1755 Oxmoor Road) in 1977. It features unique, handmade items by Alabama seniors and has returned over $3.9 million to these talented artisans. Operation School Bell provides new clothing to area school children at 28 local schools.
Since 1985, the program has provided clothes to over 25,000 youngsters. Operation Literacy provides reading tutors to students who are reading below grade level and offers additional help to new English learners.
