Casino games, light delicacies, fancy drinks and even a Dean Martin impersonator all were part of an extraordinary fundraiser for New Beginnings of Central Florida.
Part of Crane’s View Lodge in Clermont transformed into a miniature version of a Las Vegas casino Thursday, Sept. 20, during its Casino Night fundraiser for New Beginnings of Central Florida. Guests were given $250 of casino money in exchange for a $10 donation, and also enjoyed light hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and door prizes. Felix Deneau, a Dean Martin tribute artist, entertained the audience with his spot-on impersonation of the singer. New Beginnings is a poverty-prevention and homeless outreach.
