some really exciting games.

tournament pool. It took 17 years but we finally
surpassed the 1000 entry mark with a 1032 active

participating and thank you for all your hard work in
getting use the 1000 mark. The Survivor Pool was
also a big success with 73 entries. It was a lot
of work but as always it was a lot of fun. Now I
can't wait until next year to do this all over again!!!

Charities
This year we are able to donate $2150.00 to our
charities. Thank you to everyone who kicked in a
little extra. It is greatly appreciated and means
a lot to me.
As we have done for many years now $2
from every entry fee will be used for a charitable
donation. This year the donation will be split
between two different charities, The Texas Children's
Hospital and The Maisey and Jake Lowe Children's Fund.
In May 2007 my son Gehrig was diagnosed with a heart defect
known as coarctation of the aorta which required surgery
to repair his damaged heart. Gehrig was 4 years
old at the time of his successful surgery at Texas
Children's hospital. Maisey (10) and Jake (7) Lowe
are my niece and nephew and they live in Fairbanks,
Alaska. In January 2008 their father, my
brother-in-law, Jimmy Lowe died in his sleep as a result
of a heart condition. Jimmy was 37. As you can
see both of these charities are very important to me and
any extra donations to these charities will be greatly
appreciated.
Winners
For those of you lucky enough to have finished some
where in the money please get me your information as
soon as possible so that I can get your winnings too
you. I need you entry number, sheet name, first
name, last name, email address, phone number and mailing
address. Winnings will be sent out by Monday,
April 13th. Please don't forget to tip The
Administrator, it all goes to charity anyway.
Masters Pool
Many have asked but my schedule just doesn't allow for
me to do the Masters Pool this year. Hopefully it
will be back in 2010.
I hope to see you all back next year.
