Charity Poker

For four days, TWA women worked at Big Beaver Tavern at a Charity Poker event and raised a significant amount of money that goes out to the community. In this way, along with our main fund raiser, The Elf Shelf, we have become a group that people look to for help.

Charity Poker is a hands-on endeavor, but also an opportunity for us (TWA members) to get better acquainted with each other while meeting new people. This makes it a win-win project.

These were busy four days and the event was well attended. There were two tournaments each shift with ten percent of the profits going to the house, another ten to TWA, and the rest to the participants. They play Texas Hold' Em. This game is played with two to ten players and the goal is to win as many chips as you can, one pot at a time.

Chair for the event was Nancy D.
