BETS FOR VETS !

Our 1st Annual Texas Hold 'em Tournament and Fundraiser held on August 2nd was a wildly popular event, earning much-needed cash for our nation's homeless veterans -- including those recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thanks to the members of SpringBoard, New Directions' young professionals group, for hosting this event. And, congratulations to Justin Mihich, the tournament's grand prize winner (who generously donated his award to the residents of New Directions)!!!

Many thanks to Rick of Redd Room Studios for capturing our event on film. You can see more of Rick's photography at www.reddroomstudios.com
