As the parent of a special needs child I think it is a wonderful idea! I'm sure you will have no shortage of people willing to help put this event together. Thank your friend for me, what he is doing is a great example of "Public Service" My hat's off to you guys.

Great cause, we have an employee with a child that participates in the Special Olympics.
We have supported it for almost ten years now.
I wish the Poker Run was closer.
May have to consider that in our area now that we have a boat club.

Where is the BBQ cookoff? If it is at the lake you could have the poker run there and when its over we all eat BBQ. I'm in!! I think the one at Lewisville was for charity, they had different companies sponsor prizes for the run. You might talk with them and see how they did there run.

Like I said in the earlier post, I would check with someone who has done it before. I would also do it on a big lake (Texoma) to attract more people and money. Most of the poker runs are 50/50, 50 to charity 50 to winner. Normally a $200.00 to $500.00 entry fee.
Going to EM Sunday. Anyone going? Would go Saturday but Liquids wife is having a baby shower and the wife is going. I will probably clean, wax and work on the boat. Oh yea and drink beer.
