Please join us (the Monaghan and Koehlar families) on Saturday, June 26th, to pay tribute to Jim Monaghan Sr., by participating in the Second Annual French Quarter Poker Crawl Fundraiser.

This year’s proceeds will be donated to The Roots of Music (www.therootsofmusic.com) …this program serves almost 100 students, making up a full marching band that is successfully parading the city since Mardi Gras 2009.  The program provides music education in history, theory, instrumental instruction and ensemble performance. Furthermore, academic tutoring is offered to ensure the students maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in school. Participation in the Roots of Music is free for students but attendance is mandatory. The students are also provided a hot meal before being sent home on buses.

Registration will be in Jackson Square in front of the Cabildo from 9am-10:30am, where participants will enjoy a performance by the students and get their first card. The rest of the hand of 5 card stud will be dealt at Erin Rose, Molly’s at the Market, Johnny White’s and Tropical Isle.  Hands will be judged at 13 Monaghan, where there will also be an auction.

Each hand played will require a $30.00 donation and will include a commemorative t-shirt. 

Please register and pay on our website to reserve your space today www.nolacharitycrawl.org. If you can’t make it out that day, please send your donation.

Looking forward to seeing you on June 26!!!

Thanks,

Alana
