Poker Night - Oh What a Night!

SEAMERers,

Thanks to everyone who made Poker Night a success. We had over 30 guests show up and generated over $800 dollars in donations. Good job to those who came early to set up, the garage had plenty of room for 20+ players. Though Winnie & Owen could not have made the event, they still came a day prior to help set up the garage. Thank you guys for helping however you could. You guys are great!

Donna, you always amaze me by continually opening up your home as a safe-haven for Converge to experiment new ideas. This event couldn't have been such as a success without your willing heart to make your home available. You are awesome!

Thank you to Tiffany for ordering, picking up and distributing of the Vietnamese food. Before everyone left, most of the leftover food was gobbled up. So all your hard work and even frustrations with the eggrolls paid off in the end. Thank you Sabastian for being your social self, making people feel comfortable and at ease. I know that all my Midway friends had a blast... even Christina (the white girl) who lost all her poker chips to you. You make a good pitboss, but a better casino player. :)

Thanks to Joshua for being an awesome security guard. He was ruthless, lot letting people leave and come back, unless given permission by him. He guarded the money and the netbook with his life. He is a force reckon with... dont mess with Joshua!

I want to give a special thanks to Thinh, Julie & Katie for going the extra mile to dress up and act the part of dealer and waitress. You helped make the event more fun for our guests by acting your part and just being willing to let go of your inhibitions. Thinh, you were a great sport by wearing that dalmatian vest and sexy bow-tie. Katie & Julie, you two looked great in those ao dais, and really brought the Vietnamese flava into our casinos.

And last but not least, thank you to Esther who kickstarted this poker night. Your availability to help the SEAM team out whenever you can is inspiring. You were there from the beginning planning until the end. Thanks for just being who you are.

I really think that this event drew our team closer together as we all did our parts for the whole of the team. Yes, there could have been many chances to complain, but we all had positive attitudes and remained calm during times of stress. Thanks again for everything!
