David:



Thankyou for your recent e-mails regarding your Association's Lake Norman Poker Run which has been running for several years I understand. We were not aware of this until our Editor, Eric Colby wrote the story for Poker Runs America magazine which just appeared in out latest issue. You sure had an incredible event from all accounts!



We had been approached early this past year by some of our poker run customers to hold an event on Lake Norman as they felt it could be an ideal location for a poker run. However, they did not inform us, if in fact they were aware, of your run already in existence. It is not our practice to establish new events where events already occur, unless the area is sufficiently large enough to support substantial growth.



When we heard about your existing event, we immediately cancelled plans for our event this year knowing that the Lake Norman area would not fit any expansion criteria at this time. We certainly apologize for any mis-understanding that the announcement of our potential event may have caused with your association or its members.

Vagrant, evidently you have not spoken with Bill Taylor of Poker Runs America. I had dinner with him last Friday and discussed the run on Lake Norman and It WILL be happening. We would love to have your participation in this event, if not then then quit posting no factual posting. The event will be great with or without your support.

Kenny, I am not sure why you say this is not Factual ,this email is from Poker Runs of America itself.

Scaredy Cat

The letter that you are referencing is back from Nov 2007. Like I said, I have spoken to Bill Taylor and the run will happen with or without your support.

It is not about me supporting it. You have no idea what we had to go through to do ours. For the email, it does not matter when it was typed. It specifically stats that they would not do the run. That is what I have issue with. Our club has worked very hard to put a safe run on. You know, you were at the banquet. Gripping about paying the 25 dollars to get in!

Scaredy Cat

As normal your information is incorrect. I more than happily payed my $75.00 not $25.00 for myself and my two kids. We just had come for dinner, so we did not need to eat your food or drink your drinks from your party. We just stopped in to say hello to a few of our boating friends, and then we left. The reason I haven't done the runs on lake norman, is because of the lack of confidence in there being a safe run. I do if possible ten runs a year through out the country and am very well respect the poker run circut. I do believe Poker Runs America runs one of the safest and nicest poker runs, and I am more than happy to join with them and set up the run in September.
