VISTA Sponsors USO Casino Night - Benefit Event Scheduled for September 21 at Sheraton National
Herndon, VA (September 18, 2007) VISTA, the leader in decision support analytics for government and business, is a proud official sponsor of The USO of Metropolitan Washington's (USO-Metro) Fourth Annual Stars & Stripes, Diamonds & Clubs Casino Night, to be held this Friday evening, September 21, 2007.
The event, which is scheduled to run from 8:00 pm until midnight, will be held at the Sheraton National Hotel (900 South Orme Street, Arlington, VA). Pat Sajak, star of the long-running television program "Wheel of Fortune", will host the evening's festivities.
"The USO is VISTA's corporate charity," explained VISTA President and CEO David Baxa. "As a veteran-owned small business, VISTA is appreciative of the USO's mission to support our service men and women by providing a range of morale, welfare and recreation-type services."
VISTA's experience in real property asset management for military and civilian government agencies has made the company keenly aware of how the morale and productivity of US armed forces members can be affected by their surroundings, including the location and condition of their duty stations. "We have nothing but admiration and respect for any activity or organization that can boost the spirits of our men and women in uniform," Baxa added.
According to official information from USO-Metro, the semi-formal benefit event will feature a range of casino games including craps, roulette, blackjack, and Texas hold 'em. The gaming attractions will be complemented by a lavish dinner and dessert buffet and open bar.
A number of local and national celebrities will be present at the USO Casino Night, including special celebrity host 2006 World Series of Poker finalist Rhett Butler, Miss DC, Miss Maryland, and Miss Virginia.
