Thank-You Texas Hold ‘Em Volunteers
As reported in earlier Newsletters, this past Wednesday through Saturday the SPY’s worked a Texas Hold ‘Em fund-raising event. This one was extra special because the operators of the Hold ‘Em room had us run the entire event. (You usually have to share an event with another charity). This meant a tremendous opportunity for us because of possibly doubling our profits.
However, the situation also created some challenges, in that the event was leading up to the Labor Day weekend and the shift schedules would have to be extended to provide the necessary coverage, since we were the only charity working the Hold ‘Em.
But, we had some tremendous people step up and volunteer to meet the challenges. We even had two people volunteer that had never worked a Hold ‘Em before!
Our event chairman, Jeff Gibbs sends out a BIG thank-you, on behalf of the kids and the community who will ultimately benefit for the following committed workers tireless efforts. We salute:
Lynne Marie Hatt
Mandy Peabody
Betsy Gibbs
Shari Woodman
Rebekah Woodman
Denise Newman
Renee Strimback
Zeke Cappon
Gabe Bowen
Derek Desgranges
Stacie Desgranges
Steve Grosshans

Thank you all for a job well done and providing the ability to take advantage of this special opportunity!
