Re: Invitation to Poker Run
I would like to thank anyone who attended the Parrot Heads Poker Run Sat. 3/15/08. We had a great turnout, we sold 660 tickets and had over $ 4000 left after expenses. This will all be donated to charity. If anyone thinks I or any Parrot Head profit from this they are mistaken. My wife and myself have over 500 hrs invested over a 3 month period. We have taken trips to ST. Pete, Ocala and Leesburg for supplies, all at our expense. We do not get reimbursed nor do we ask to be reimbursed. We do it for the clubs benefit and the charities we support. We had 90 members volunteer their time and we needed every one of them. So when someone says we are just a drinking club ask one of these volunteers when do they get a chance drink. You might not like the answer. I am sure this goes for any club in the Villages. We get our satisfaction at the end of the day and the event was a success.
THANK YOU AGAIN!
