The aim of the Casino Games is to allow the beneficiaries to earn extra ice cream sticks which will be used for the auction later on in the day.
* Note: Each beneficiaries will start with 10 ice cream stick for the day.

Serving of Tea Break (Kong Ba Pau):
The volunteers will be split into 2 groups here where :
1) The first group will rearrange the tables for the Auction which will follow after Tea break (Wen Qing)
2) The second group will prepare and help serve tea break to the beneficiaries (Shermin)

Auction:
The Auction table will be set up right in the middle of the dining area, we will make use of the staff table to setup a mini stage. The entire dining area will be split into 4 sections. Each section will be cordoned off using raffia string and there will be an OIC in each section. The volunteers will be assigned to each tables in a section to assist the beneficiaries for the auction.
* Note: No one is allowed to crowd around the mini stage.
* Note: All items will be well spread out to be auction to each section.
Ronald will lead the auction and also 1 volunteer will be assigned to each section to help distribute the auction item once bidding is over per item.
