With an elegant celebration and delicious lunch,
Alhambra Casino recognized its distinguished crew members for 2022

As every year, Alhambra Casino and Shops took
the time to honor its distinguished crew members
with a special celebration at the Alhambra Casino
Ballroom, which included a delicious lunch and
musical entertainment.

The event started with a lunch buffet consisting of
delicious items to cater to every taste, including
drinks and desserts. After the lunch the atmosphere
was more energetic and cheerful and everyone
was ready for the awards.

Susan Varnes, president and COO of Treasure Bay,
LLC gave a speech in which she recognized the
value of these distinguished crew members repre-
sent for the Alhambra family. She also talked about
the challenges the team has faced and overcome,
as well as plans for the future.
Throughout the event a family atmosphere reigned
making the celebration all the merrier.

Jan ten Have, director of operations also gave
an inspirational speech and helped hand out the
awards.

First, the crew members who have a perfect atten-
dance were recognized. Varnes pointed out that
sometimes crew members cannot have a perfect
attendance in a year due to circumstances outside
their control, and that is regrettable. However, it is
important to recognize the effort of those receiving
the Perfect Attendance award because it allows
the entire team to depend on them and for the en-
tire operation of Alhambra Casino to run smoothly.
42 people received the Perfect Attendance award
during the ceremony.
