Poker Party FUNdraiser to benefit the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society!!!

So I got permission to go play on Sunday morning. Was thinking about SWS. If I decide not to go fishing on Sunday I'd come join your event on Saturday. Either way, I'll donate to the cause. You're a good man.

Last Reminder!!
Got all the tables and chairs set up in the man-space and we have room for 25-30 people to play at once!!

Also got some yummy organic "Radical Red" wine from HallCrest Vineyards donated by our good friend (and fellow Cancer fighter!!) Amy Doherty...Second and third place will each get a bottle to take home, and there will be a few bottles open for tasting/enjoyment!! 

Amy also hooked us up with a stack of "complimentary tasting for two" cards for HallCrest!!

This is a super cool Santa Cruz Mountain Winery, that makes some SERIOUSLY good Pinot Noirs, and everybody who comes will get a free tasting card as a door prize!!

Party is primarily BYOB, but I also got a fat bottle of Flor De Cana Gold (not as good as the Gran Reserva, but still very nice!!), a bottle of Skyy and some of my homemade bloody mary mix, and a mini-keg of Heineken to make sure that people don't go thirsty!! 

For those who have not tried Flor De Cana before...you missing out bro!! 

Check out this well written, funny as hell review of the Gold:

http://www.boozebasher.com/2007-06-25/rum/review-flor-de-cana-gold/

"It’s the kind of taste that seems to beg you to come to Nicaragua to work hard in the factories for small wages just so you can visit the cantina after a hard day’s work for several of these bad boys. Perhaps it’s just me. Maybe I just like saying “Nicaragua.” Flor de Caña Gold and cola is so smooth and delicious to consume that you may decide that your favorite cola no longer appeals to you without a hefty helping of Flor de Caña Gold."

 

Want to say THANK YOU also to all the members who have written to say they couldn't make it, but offered kind words and/or donations anyways!!! Ana and I really appreciate it, and feel very lucky to be a part of NCKA. 

Hope to see as many of you tonight as possible!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim
