There were members asking what was happening and past members wanted to play yet did not want to join. Though there was not a lot of members playing, we had a good time, and it was profitable for Mary Mills who won the best hand and Mike Dean that won with the worst hand. People say to me," I was a member last year and I only did one thing, so I am not joining this year". The board of directors are doing something every month. |
Yacht Club members only event starts at noon from the Veterans Barge. Ask a dock hand if you need help opening the gate. Entry fee is $10 a hand and you must RSVP. Half the pot is given for the best hand and half for the worst hand. A five card stud poker hand can be drawn by a non-boater by drawing only five cards. If you collect seven certificates from the lake by boat, you can draw seven cards but can only play your five best to make a hand. The more players, the larger the pot. Contest ends at 1:30. RSVP to Gregory at 501-654-4337. |
