Hello my Poker Players,
As you know the holiday season is upon us. Its a time to think of all the wonderful things in our life and the many blessings that God has bestowed to us and our families.
I believe God has a plan for each and everyone of us. Sometimes we might wonder why God allows bad things to happen to good people. The reason will be reveled to us in his time of choosing.
My attitude on GOD's plan is to do my best to help when anyone is in need. Today I am reaching out to my poker league to stand up and help those in need as best you can.
The Texas State Guard is asking for donations of children toys to be donated to children suffering from cancer and other deadly diseases.
These toys will be taken to the following hospital.
-
Cook Children's
-
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital
-
Our Children's House at Baylor
-
Children's Medical Center
In return for your donation, you will receive $5,000 in chips the night of the donation.
I would like to wish everyone in our league a Great Thanksgiving and a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
