Neighborhood News: Play Texas Hold ’em for charity

The Montclair Lions' "Winter Classic 2010" charity Texas Hold 'em tournament will be held Feb. 20 at the Dumfries Triangle Fire and Rescue 3R, at 3800 Graham Park Road, Dumfries.

The past Texas Hold 'em events have been legally operated, well-supported and benefited local charities and families in need.  The last event was very special and personal.

Mackenzie Lemn, the 14-month granddaughter of Lion David Marr, had suffered a total failure of her liver and required a life-changing liver transplant. The $9,000 raised from your generosity and the support of the sponsors, has gone a long way to helping this child recover and live a normal life. Earlier events have helped sponsor college scholarships and supported the outfitting of the Dumfries women and children's shelter.

The Lions are looking for businesses that would be willing to be a table sponsor, which includes a $100 donation plus a $50 or more prize. Table sponsors also receive a player seat at their table, a display table at the event and they will be recognized in the program and press releases.

Please send your donations to Montclair Lions Club, P.O. Box 246, Dumfries, VA 22026, or contact any one of the Montclair Lions for tickets.
