December 13th 2005 Hunger Task Force Speaker

At today's meeting we had Jennifer Nkonga come and speak to us about the hunger problem facing the city of Milwaukee.  While they always push for donations and volunteers this year has been a little more difficult with a large amount of support going to Hurricane victims.  While the relief for the hurricane effort is also a great cause, unfortuantely it doesn't mean other problems go away or are put on hold.  The Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee is a great cause and any one interested in making a donation or volunteering can get more information on their website.

November 6th 2005 1st Texas Hold'em Tournament

This past Sunday the Exchange club held it's first ever Texas Hold'em tournament at the Wisconsin Club and while the Packers didn't look very good some of the players in attendance looked liked seasoned veterans.  With over 60 people putting in their anty there was plently of action on and off the tables.  The winner will be on his way to Las Vegas next year to try and win a seat in the 2006 World Series of Poker.  But the real winner was the Exchange Club which collected over $3000 from the silent auction and other games.  Look for this event to be repeated next year and when you see John Cobey tell him congratulations on making it to the final 6 players!
