hey now, i'm bout as "northern indiana" as i can get, and still plan on making it!! two ak smilies since i'll be bringing the GF too!!I'm sorry we aren't catering to the Northerners!
Bumpin to keep everyone's attention. I have another idea for this event that would allow charities to benefit from this poker shoot as well. Please let me know everyone's thoughts:
We are approching the 1 year anniversary of the motorcycle accident that seriously injured Mary Mills, Kurt Weekly and took the life of Eric Wells (August 6th). Eric Wells was a good friend and colleague of mine. I thought since our ride falls in the same month of this terrible incident, we could bump the total price a little for this poker shoot with proceeds going to the charity that Eric Wells donated to.
Last year, Eric was planning on participating in a charity ride for Jerry's Kids. Jerry's Kids is a charity for kids with muscular dystrophy. I thought this would be an appropriate charity to donate to.
Today I spoke to Eric's wife and she is in the process of setting up a charity in Eric's name, and she has interest in what has been started here. Please let me know what everyone thinks about this. I know Eric would have been ecstatic to be a part of this ride/shoot if he were here today.
Also, please respect this thread and keep your thoughts and opinions about the incident that occured on August 6th, 2010 to yourselves or place your opinion in the proper thread category. This is not intended to be a political poker ride/shoot.
