Rotary Casino Royale Ball raising funds for Australian Children's Music Foundation

Dress code is formal so dust off your dinner suit and shine your dancing shoes in readiness.

A glass of champagne and finger food will be given to you on arrival at the venue, PCYC Taree.

You will be gambling on blackjack and roulette. But you will not be playing for money. Every table will be issued with with gambling chips and the table with the most chips at the end of the two-hour session gets to nominate a charity of their choice to receive $1000.

"Our volunteer croupiers are in training from a professional croupier!" Rotary Foundation Australia director and member of Rotary Club of Taree on the Manning, Maurie Stack said.

Once the action is over at the blackjack and roulette tables, the tables will be pushed aside and you can dance the night away to the Sally-Anne Whitten Band, who are coming across from Tamworth to ensure you have a great night.
