July 2011
We are excited to announce the first ever Poker Run fundraiser for the Grand Chapter of Vermont, Order of Eastern Star to benefit their special project the Vermont National Guard Charitable Foundation. This event is open to all members of the Eastern Star and Masons plus their family and friends. Motorcycles and automobiles are welcome to participate.
A poker run is an organized event where participants must visit several checkpoints, drawing a playing card(s) at each one. Routes to the checkpoints will be provided at the starting point. 20% of the registration fee will go to winners’ pool. There will be three prizes awarded: 75% for 1st Prize Best Hand; 15% for 2nd Prize 2nd Best Hand; 10% for 3rd Prize Worst Hand. The event has a time limit, however the participants are not timed—winning is purely a matter of chance. Entrance fee per hand is $25.
Drivers and passengers are welcome to play. Multiple hands can be played by an individual. The event will be on Saturday, August 13, 2011 starting with registration at 8 am at the Mad River #77
Masonic Lodge, Waitsfield, Vermont. Breakfast will be available, donations are welcome. Departure to the other checkpoints is staggered and people can take their own route if they desire. All participants need to be at the final destination Isle of Patmos # 17 Masonic Lodge, South Hero, Vermont by 2 pm where the results will be calculated and winners will be announced. A BBQ will be available for $10.
Please pre‐register by e‐mailing sickle.oes@gmail.com and provide your name, number of participants (for food estimates), and whether you will be using a motorcycle or automobile.
