Kate Hennessy and Tom Ujfalussy

Tom Ujfalussy, Ryan Frank, Kate Hennessy, Reilly Ujfalussy and Lyle Goodin

Kate and Tom from SNAP Clarington! came to speak with the club. They took on the Clarington SNAP as a business and like the way that the paper has taken off. SNAP reports on local events and provides space for local advertising. They like to only report on the positive events in the community as we are already overwhelmed with negative press both on tv and in print. SNAP could really promote the club and if we can get our events into the paper on time we could have them published in the paper.

The draw this week was for $3,744+. Don W drew the 8 of spades. The crowd went nuts again. The pot lives for another week. Better luck next time!!! Remember you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. Good luck!
