Correction
Please note that the tent set-up day for the SPY’s Dime Pitch Booth has been changed! Originally, it was reported that the set-up would occur on Wednesday, August 17th. at the park. Helpers will now be needed starting at 5 PM on THURSDAY, AUGUST 18TH. Hope to see you there!
Looking For Some Shift Workers
Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament events are a MAJOR source of revenue for the SPY’s and the youth and community projects and activities we support.
We work Texas Hold ‘Em events usually three times a year. The work involved here is simply selling chips to the players. The chairman of this activity is Jeff Gibbs (517-930-6989). The next event we are schedule to work is Wednesday, August 31st. thru Saturday, September 3rd. This will be the last Texas Hold “Em we are scheduled to work this year.
These events usually run from Noon until 2 AM. Consequently, Jeff puts together a schedule of 2-person shifts to cover the hours of operation of the event. We usually are required by the operators of the Hold ‘Ems to split an event with another charity. However, for this event, we have been given the opportunity to run the total event, which will double our profits.
If you can help out and could pull a shift or two on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, please give Jeff a call. Due to the special circumstances with this particular Hold ‘Em, it has the potential of being a tremendous financial wind-fall for the SPY’s.
