LENOX, Mass. — Lenox Library Association will host its second charity poker tournament on Friday, June 14 from 6-9 p.m. in the Welles Gallery at the Lenox Library. 

 

This fundraising event will be hosted by Max Scherff, a Trustee of the Lenox Library Association, to offer community members and card players of all levels an opportunity to play poker while supporting a meaningful cause – the Lenox Library.

 

Poker Night Out at the library will be played in a Texas Hold 'Em tournament format which forces raised antes throughout the night to identify top four finishers who will win significant prizes donated by area businesses. The "buy in" to this event is a $125 donation which goes towards library programs and materials. This admission fee will also include pizza, mocktails, and cocktails, and is a tax-deductible donation to the Lenox Library Association which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. 

 

"We had great success at our first Poker Night Out in April. Guys and gals of all skill levels had a lot of fun. Without many local legal poker options in the Berkshires, we are excited to offer another night of friendly competition at the poker table while players support the Lenox Library," said host Max Scherff.

 

All players are invited to attend a half hour tutorial to freshen up or learn new poker skills at 6 p.m. before the tournament starts at 6:30 p.m. sharp. Bidding cheat sheets with poker hand rankings and a time board will be provided so the tournament can progress with alacrity.

 

The event is limited to 30 people. Registration for the tournament is now open. To register, contact the Lenox Library Association Development Department at contact@lenoxlib.org, call 413.637.2630 x115, or scan the QR code and notate PNO. All players must pay in advance to reserve a seat.
