Guests turned out in formalwear and added some glitz and glimmer for the Eastern Produce Council’s annual Casino Night gala April 9 at Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park, N.J.
As the council’s premier fundraising event for decades, it’s an important night for northeastern produce professionals, said Susan McAleavy Sarlund, council executive director.
Previously a formal sit-down dinner, Sarlund and her team revamped the event to be a buffet circling the premises, with sushi stations, meat-carving stations, seafood, fruit, vegetables and cuisines spanning the globe. After an hour, the game room floor opened to the crowd for card games and table games using council-themed play money.
