Opened in 1995, Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel is owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation. The organization is committed to responsible gaming and takes pride in supporting its employees and surrounding communities. The Chehalis Tribe continues to honor its rich cultural heritage while advancing opportunities in business, education, healthcare, and community outreach.
Rodney Youckton, Chief Community Relations Officer for Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel and Centralia-Chehalis Chamber board member, along with Shawna Ridgebear, Marketing Director, will be on hand to welcome guests at the April Business After Hours (BAH). Celebrating its 31st anniversary in 2026, the casino remains deeply engaged in regional partnerships.
“We believe in one heart, one mind,” said Youckton, a long-time supporter of the Centralia-Cheahlis Chamber. Lucky Eagle supports a total of thirteen Chambers and contributes to numerous local organizations in those communities. Among organizations in Lewis County, Lucky Eagle supports Pope’s Place, Madison Grove Farm, and the Veterans Memorial Museum, among other causes.
The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce invites the community to its April Business After Hours, hosted by Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel on Thursday, April 16, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The event will take place at Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel, located at 12888 188th Avenue SW in Rochester, and offers a lively evening of networking, refreshments, and entertainment. Guests will enjoy appetizers, a photo booth, and a unique opportunity to participate in the Soaring Slot Tournament—an experience typically reserved for members on Monday nights.
