Sept. 22-24: “Win a Woody”
It’s time to start gearing up for another “Surf City Weekend” in September. This year,
we will give away a red PT Cruiser Woody, the first one in the U.S. This one-of-a-kind
“woody” was modified at the factory just for Chinook Winds.
Finalists for the drawing will be drawn at 7, 8, and 9 p.m. on Sept. 22. On Sept. 23 and
Sept. 24, finalists will be drawn at noon, 1,2,3,4, and 5 p.m. The grand prize drawing will
take place on Sept. 24 at 5:30 p.m. when each of the 15 finalists will try their key in the
ignition. One will start this groovy PT Cruiser. The Chinook Winds “Woody” is now on
display in the lobby.
Entry forms are available for both drawings. Stop by the Winner’s Circle for details.
Blood Drive Sets Record
Chinook Winds Casino & Convention
Center held its fourth annual blood drive on
July 12. The casino’s Human Resources
Department organized and advertised the
event in-house. As a result, 13 employees
signed on to work as recruiters and nine
volunteers offered to work with the American
Red Cross during the blood drive.
The drive was set up in the meeting
rooms across from the convention center,
which was hosting the Senior Fair.
Employees could be seen entering and
leaving the area at regular intervals
throughout the day. At the end of the day,
the Chinook Winds team had broken its
record and surpassed its goal of 45 units by
collecting 57 units of much-needed blood.
Even family members of employees took
part in the blood drive. Betty J. Donat (r)
volunteered to help with the drive as well
as donate blood.
