Drinks flowed and chips were piled high at the Business and Professional Women of Marathon’s Kuban Keysino night. For four hours on the evening of March 11, players took over the hangar at the Marathon Jet Center to place their best bets at professional gaming tables and enjoy hors d’oeuvres catered by Brutus Seafood, a photo booth, a cigar bar and a Grand Finale raffle with prizes ranging from theater tickets to hotel stays.

“I’m really thankful that people came out and supported BPW’s Keysino night again,” said BPW president Mallory Pinto. “It’s such a fun night and we look forward to making next year even bigger for a 007-themed night. Special thanks to Elise Mucha and the Brutus Seafood crew, as well as William Zimdars with the Marathon Jet Center.”
