Over time Indian Head
Casino finds itself with a
large collection of
returnable cans.
Casino management
realized a perfect
solution, as to the best
use of the returnables:
A sizeable donation to the
Warm Springs Boys &
Girls Club, helping the
non-profit organization
with operating expenses.
The casino team last
week delivered the cans
to the club (left), where
they were greatly
appreciated.
