The Malmo Plains Community League has a fundraising opportunity with one of the casinos licensed by Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis. With enough volunteers, the community league could be in a position to get close to $70,000. In order to get this money, we need enough volunteers to work for just two nights, Wednesday July 28 and Thursday July 29, at the Starlight Casino in West Edmonton Mall.

If you can volunteer, please reach out to casino@malmoplains.com for information on positions, times, and how to volunteer. Even volunteering on one night would help.

As you might expect, the Community League’s income was down last year due to COVID. Hall rental income was down significantly although membership sales and the City of Edmonton operating grant dropped as well. In addition, some of our costs have gone up: Many of you will will recall the skating rink not being cleared when the engine on our snowblower needed hundreds of dollars in repairs. The Community League also has to arrange and pay for our own garbage collection - something previously done by the City of Edmonton. Any help you can provide would be gratefully accepted.

Again, please contact casino@malmoplains.com.
