From the President of the Deep South Chapter, Jack Mayercik Fellow Members; Just a note to remind you of the Annual Meeting at the Copa Casino in Gulfport at noon on the 8th of February. I've managed to put together a poker tournament at the Copa immediately following the Meeting. The buy-in will be $25. Each player will receive 1000 in tournament chips. We'll play either 7 Card Stud or Texas Holdem, depending on what the majority of players would like to do and the number of players. The tournament will be restricted to Members only. The first 12 Members who sign up will play for 1hour and 30 minutes. The top 3 chip totals will split the money 50-30-20%, minus the toke for the dealer. The casino will NOT charge for the Tournament. Pay the Treasurer when you show up at the Meeting.

Those of you who play poker might be interested to know that on the 7th, the Copa Poker Room will be giving out cash awards, T-shirts, hats, jackets, etc. They'll also have a nice food buffet in the poker room to celebrate their anniversary. If you're here the night before our Meeting, you might want to show up and win something nice. It's not a large poker room, but they "take care" of the players with easy food comps also. See ya'll at the Meeting or at the poker room.
