Alcohol affects individuals differently. For most adults, alcohol consumed in moderation can add flavor to a good meal, be refreshing on a hot day or add to the fun of a social event. However, excessive alcohol consumption can affect judgment, perception, and motor skills, which can lead to dangerous and sometimes deadly outcomes.
Potawatomi Bingo Casino takes its obligation to responsible beverage service very seriously. The Casino maintains the highest standards in the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. The Casino's commitment includes training, monitoring and regular communication to keep this concern top-of-mind among team members at all times.

Potawatomi Bingo Casino has one of the most diverse workforces with over fifty-percent of its team members being people of color. This includes people of various ethnic backgrounds such as Hispanic, Asian, African-American and Native American.
In November, the Casino joined in the celebration of national Native American Heritage Month by hosting activities and sharing information.
As proclaimed by President Obama: "For millennia before Europeans settled in North America, the indigenous peoples of this continent flourished with vibrant cultures and were the original stewards of the land. From generation to generation, they handed down invaluable cultural knowledge and rich traditions, which continue to thrive in Native American communities across our country today. During National Native American Heritage Month, we honor and celebrate their importance to our great Nation and our world."
The Casino hosted craft demonstrations in its employee dining room, played Native American music over the sound system, displayed informational posters about each Tribe in Wisconsin, shared words in various Native languages and more.

The Forest County Potawatomi continues its commitment to reducing its impact on the earth.
In November 2011, it proposed to the City of Milwaukee its plans to develop an $18.6 million bio-digester renewable energy installation near Potawatomi Bingo Casino.
Bio-digesters use a natural biological process (anaerobic digestion) to produce a fuel very similar to natural gas by using waste materials (feedstock) generated by many food and beverage industries. Building the facility adjacent to the Casino will allow the Casino to utilize the excess recovered heat for water and space heating needs, significantly reducing the Casino's natural gas consumption.
The project is a partnership between the Potawatomi, the U.S. Department of Energy and Focus on Energy.

There are hungry people in our community each and every day. The organizations that help feed those in need, such as the Hunger Task Force, are challenged to keep up with demand and far too often their shelves are empty.
It requires neighbors to help other neighbors.
In November, team members of Potawatomi Bingo Casino came together in a friendly competition to collect as many pounds of food as they could to help their neighbors in southeastern Wisconsin. In total, 2,992 pounds of food were donated by Casino staff. That is just over one pound per team member.
