Unfortunately, this is the same evening as the immigration doc screening at the CST.
Man…6 pm …not a chance although we can see about rounding up something as a donation.
David, how are those flyers coming along?
Thanks
I would love to take part but am already committed for the evening. I hope they will do something else like this again, and get the word out sooner. Have they considered using the PC Ballroom at JMU? I think it could be huge if college kids knew about it. $10 buyin is nothing.

The flyers are ready. Thanks again
6pm does suck for me too, I’m closing early just to accomodate.

The timing sucks for me too, I’d really prefer to see the documentary that Brent has produced at CST but I had already committed. It’ll be fun though! ps, this is kinda a late announcement by me, but Justin and Marcus have been on the ball with it in many other ways.
If anyone has prizes that they can donate, we’re still in need. Thanks
Dave,
How’d the tournament go? Just curious.
We raised almost $300 for United Way and had a blast doing it. Congratulations to Mark Batten, owner of Luigi’s for his victory!
ps. let’s not ask how I fared :(
Had a great time. Thanks Dave and everyone involved.
