Richards Hired
as Director of
Casino Slots
Sar Richards has been hired
as the director of Casino Slots for
Chinook Winds Casino.
Richards was bom and raised
in Albany, Ore., and graduated from
South Albany High School. He
served in the Army for just over four
years as a Russian linguist,
primarily with the 3rd Infantry
Division in what was then West
Germany. When he completed his
tour of duty, Richards used the GI
Bill to attend Oregon State
University and graduated with a BA
in business.
He first ventured into the
business world as the international
shipper for Barenbrug USA, the
world’s largest grass seed company.
He coordinated shipments from the
U.S. to countries worldwide. He
soon realized, however, that this
wasn’t his chosen profession.
A
member
of
the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz,

by Teresa Simmons
Sar Richards
Richards decided to apply for a
position with the Siletz Tribe.
He chose the casino in the belief
that he could best serve his tribe in
that venue.
For more than three years,
Richards
held
a
gaming
commissioner position, most of
those years as the vice-chairman.
He became very familiar with every
department, especially slots.
When asked about his new
position, Richards replied, “I feel
that my previous experience with
the casino will make the transition
to this new position relatively easy.
I look forward to being part of the
positive growth of the property and
working for the good of my tribe.”

Casino Participates in Local
Christmas Giving
Each year, Chinook Winds Casino purchases 150 live wreaths from
the Lincoln City Rotary Club. The wreaths are used as part of the holiday
décor for the casino as wel 1 as centerpieces and door prizes for the employee
Christmas party. Money realized by the Rotary Club through the sale of
Christmas wreaths each year provides funds for scholarships to local
students. The casino’s contribution funds three of these scholarships
each year.
Chinook Winds also purchases live poinsettias from the local Lions
Club each year, contributing to its fund-raising activities.
Additionally, the Chinook Winds Donations Committee provides
funds to the Elks and Eagles for their food baskets that are distributed
county-wide, Food Shares county-wide, Meals on Wheels county-wide,
Salvation Army, Red Cross, Contact, and numerous other charitable
organizations.
“Giving Trees” is another recipient of Chinook Winds employees’
generosity and collection barrels for the Food Pantry. Space is donated
for community fund-raisers such as the recently held Song of the Angels’
Ball, a benefit for Angels Anonymous, an organization that provides
immediate assistance to people in need who do not qualify through
other organizations.
