Poker fun!

On Tuesday, Dec. 15, join DC PR Flacks member Veronica Brown as she heads up to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to deal poker for the wounded veterans there during one of the facilities' regular Texas Hold’em tournaments.

The tournaments are a great way to help our veterans enjoy a fun evening while they’re in recovery, especially during the holiday season when so many of them can’t be at home.

No experience playing or dealing poker? No problem. A brief training session is given right before the tournament begins. If you’re interested in participating, contact Veronica for more details at veronica.brown@yahoo.com.
