Lenox Library Association to Host Poker and Pizza Night
 |
LENOX, Mass. — The Lenox Library Association will host a benefit poker tournament on Friday, March 21 from 6-9 p.m. in the Welles Gallery at the Lenox Library.
This unique fundraising event, hosted by Lenox Library Association Trustee, Max Scherff, offers community members and card players an opportunity to enjoy a friendly game of poker while supporting the Lenox Library.
Poker and Pizza Night at the library will be played in Texas Hold 'Em style, a tournament format which forces raised antes throughout the night to reveal top finishers who will wi prizes donated by area businesses.
The "buy in" to this event is a $125 donation which goes towards the cost of library programs and materials. This admission fee will include pizza, bartended mocktails and cocktails, and is a tax-deductible donation to the Lenox Library Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which raises funds for the Lenox Library.
Host Max Scherff encourages "poker players of all levels to chip in and test their skills. We are excited for some friendly competition at the poker table while supporting the Lenox Library."
Scherff will lead free lessons for the first half hour for those who want to learn or brush up on their poker skills. Beginners welcome.
Prizes will include a day spa for two at Canyon Ranch, a wellness experience with an exclusive GOOP luxury product basket, a dining certificate to a local restaurant, and a gift certificate to the Lenox Library Association's Book Nook. Sponsors of Poker Night include Nejaimes Wine Celler in Lenox and Guido's Marketplace.
Limited to thirty-six people, all players must pay in advance to reserve a seat. To register, contact the Lenox Library Association Development Department at contact@lenoxlib.org or call 413.637.2630 x115.
