*** Please include your User Name so I know who to thank!!! ***

There will be a raffle from the donor list many thanks to Tom Wirth, who has donated a copy of Controlled Aggression, his new One Pocket book.

Both the raffle and the sponsorship voting will be proportionate to the donations -- one vote/chance for 20; 3 votes/chances for 50; 7 votes/chances for 100. Anyone can comment or nominate or be the sponsored player.

Donations so far include Tom Wirth for contributing a book to raffle, and wgcp who ended up winning two copies of Tom's book and has generously passed one forward to this drawing. I will again donate a double set of Freddy's "Banks that don't go but do" DVDs.

Thank you unoperro, your donation arrived.

How about some more suggestions/nominations for the sponsored player? I would be happy to cover the event and cheer one of our members on. I'd be happy to play in it also, but I have been sponsored as a player before -- in Banks at DCC.

I mentioned Alex Lely (engat), but also, how about Chicago Mike, frmn (who finished highest in the DCC One Pocket division among our members this year), or keoneyo?

Steve,

I will donate a new copy of Shots, Moves & Strategies to whomever is selected to go.

Steve,

Tell me where to send it and I'll send it to you if you are attending the tourney. You can give it to the nominee or I can send it to the person if that does not work for you.

No disrespect taken Larry. You are right about Dave not posting here often but I nominated him because he is one of the good guys I've known and he can play a little. It would be nice to see someone go who actually has a chance to win and Dave fits the bill.
