Dine Around, Auction and Casino Night Benefits VNA Hospice Care

A little bit of Las Vegas will come to Winchester on Friday, May 1, with the Winchester Friends of VNA Hospice Care’s Dine Around, Auction and Casino Night at the Winchester Country Club to benefit end-of-life care in Burlington, Wilmington and other area communities.

The evening kicks off at 7 p.m. with a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres. Guests can try their luck in the “casino” at the money-wheel or table games, including poker, blackjack, craps and roulette. TV and radio personality Billy Costa returns to entertain partygoers and emcee the live auction. The evening also features dinner and dessert, silent auction, music and dancing.

This is the 21st year that the Winchester Friends of VNA Hospice Care have organized the Dine Around. VNA Hospice Care is a nonprofit that provides care, comfort and support to patients and families facing life-limiting illness and loss.

“Donations play a critical role in our mission of caring,” said Jane Woodbury, vice president of fund development for VNA Hospice Care. “Each ticket sold makes a difference in the lives of local residents.”

Businesses supporting the Dine Around include Long Term Pharmacy Solutions, a Platinum Sponsor, and Winchester Savings Bank, a GoldSponsor.

Tickets are $200 each and include 500 casino chips, dinner, dessert and entertainment. Seating is limited and tickets must be purchased by April 24. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 781-569-2820 or visit www.vnahospicecare.org.
