here are my thoughts, poker tournament and casino night, bring your wife and enjoy a good night of good times, several hours in a nice venue, all types of casino games and a big poker tournament, if we can't get 100 people to attend then shame on all of you
We will get big prizes for door prizes, and for winning just like any other casino night except this will have a little twist. I am going to say we give actual merchandise prizes compared to doing cash money prized, take all donations, minus any actual costs, and donate it all to the family at the end of the night or the next day however that would work.
I think most of us, myself included, would rather win a 600 dollar rod and reel then a few hundred bucks since the money is going to such a great cause.
I have most set up just going to snoop around for a few different venues to have it and get some pricing set up, it will be very nice and an upscale venue but will be dress as you want, the way mike would want it ( DEVILS JERSEYS ARE VERY ACCEPTABLE, AS WELL AS GRUNDENS AND FISHING BOOTS)
