The Los Altos Youth Commission has scheduled a high school Casino Night 7-11 p.m., April 29, at the Los Altos Youth Center.
Students with a valid ID from any high school are encouraged to attend.
The event will feature a Texas Hold’em tournament, Blackjack, Wheel of Fortune and karaoke.
The $5 admission includes the equivalent of $250 in chips. Donating one or more cans of food for the homeless can earn an additional $250 in chips. Chips can be redeemed for raffle tickets for prizes such as gift certificates, video games and poker sets.
Students can earn community service credit as well as $100 in chips by volunteering to be a dealer.
For more information or to volunteer, call Teen Program Coordinator Molly James at the Los Altos Recreation Department, 947-2884.
In other news, the youth commission drew “excellent input” at a recent meeting to discuss the creation of a new skate park, according to recreation supervisor Donna Legge.
She expects more meetings to discuss the matter. Six new youth commissioners will be appointed next month to replace those graduating.
