CLEVELAND, September 12 — Openings are available for the Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament at the BLET’s Southwestern Convention Meeting (SWCM) this coming weekend. Seventy-five percent of the proceeds from the tournament go to support the SWCM’s Scholarship Fund.
The tournament has a $50 buy in and prizes will be awarded to the top 10 finishers. The tournament will be held at the Hilton Ball Park Hotel in the Lindbergh Room from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, please contact SWCM 2008 Chairman David J. Grimes at (515) 231-2243, or sign up at the registration desk when you arrive at the hotel in St. Louis.
Also, those who are driving and staying at the Hilton Ball Park Hotel during the 2008 SWCM will have a $10 per night parking rate (if you use the self-parking option). The parking garage is across the street from the Hilton. You will be allowed to park in front of the hotel for check in. At check in, please tell the hotel front desk that you will be using the self-parking $10 per night option. The Hotel will give you a bar code sticker to be applied to your parking ticket.
