On April 25, Habitat for Humanity of Montezuma County held “Casino Night” at the Let’s Dance Studio in Cortez. An evening of just-for-fun poker and roulette was held with an elegant buffet table set with assorted gourmet cheeses and crackers and a chocolate tasting. Hand-crafted chocolates from Silverton Chocolates were paired with port, and champagne served with the cheeses. Liquid Assets provided the champagne and port.
The music of Terry Wells and Lee Bartley created the perfect atmosphere and a services auction presided over by Todd Starr raised over $6,000 for the Montezuma County Habitat affiliate. Local professionals and businesses donated services ranging from printing to painting, medical services to gourmet picnics. The monies raised will be used to purchase a lot for our first Habitat house. The fun-filled evening was such a success that HFHMC will make it an annual affair, with plans already in the works for next year.
