by Brian Garvin

It was for one of the families in our congregation and the money we raised was going to go towards helping them during their financial struggles. Even though it was a great way for everyone to come together, we had to overcome a few obstacles.

It’s always nice to hold an event such as this one because there are various charities willing to help out. Our situation consisted of needing as many poker tables as we could get our hands on. Eventually through several discussions and a little barter and trading, we were able to get ten poker tables. They were old and rugged, so it meant we had to do a little work on them. Everyone had a job from scraping, rebuilding, painting, by our was to do a little shopping. My job was to find some inexpensive Texas Holdem Poker Table Felt.
