"Texas Hold'em" LHS Alumni Fundraiser on Saturday

The Lincoln High School Alumni Association will be having the Texas Hold'em Fundraising event this Saturday afternoon in South Pasadena. This is not a "sport" that I am familiar with, and the Alumni Association is taking it's first plunge into this particular endeavor.

The number of players that the event can accommodate is 100. See the sidebar link under "Alumni Events" for details.

As I am not familiar with this as being a spectator activity generally, I can't give you any other information on what's involved, other than what I've been told. Prizes were being arranged and gambling for real money would not be happening since that would be a good way to risk a bust and messing up the day for lots of people.

UPCOMING EVENTS
There are some reunions coming up of assorted vintages of classmates (see sidebar) and there will be a Shakey's Pizza Night fundraising event in a month. The opening of scholl for the 2009-2010 academic year is right around the corner and this will bring football action to Lincoln in just a few weeks. Alumni involvement in the food booth is always a good place to mix up some visiting and a little bit of work for getting funds together that will eventually be returned to benefit students and the school.
