PGIslanders Boat Poker Run
Saturday, February 17, 2024
On February 18, the PGIslanders will again hold a Boat Poker Run. This is not a race, and all sizes of boats are welcome. For those that have never participated in a poker run, you use a boat to visit five pre-determined docks in Punta Gorda Isles and pick up an envelope containing a playing card at each stop. PGIslanders and their guests are welcome, and you can have multiple participants on a boat. Each person who pays the $5 entry fee gets an envelope at each dock.
If you don’t have a boat, or are unable to use your boat, you’re welcome to ride with other participants. If you’re using your boat and are willing to take passengers, please let us know and how many you can take. If you would like a ride, let us know that, too. The more on the boat, the merrier. The Linehans can take up to ten guests.
Members handing out cards are also eligible to collect a hand if they pay the $5 entry fee. Those not wishing to travel by boat can still collect a hand by registering and paying the entry fee.
Details will be sent to participants, including location of docks where you will collect the playing cards. Visiting docks begins at 2:00 pm on February 17.
At 5:30 PM, we’ll have a pot-luck dinner and after-party at the PGICA where you’ll bring your cards and see how good a poker hand you have. The best hands win! Do not open your envelopes until instructed after dinner.
If you wish to participate and/or volunteer to help, please contact Susan Bales at (502) 435-7615 or sandsharris@aol.com, or Sue Linehan at 941-979-6977 or suelinehanpgi@gmail.com. You can also sign up at a General Membership Meeting. Please bring your $5 entry fee per person when you sign up.
