🕚 Card Stops Open: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
🃏 Card Turn‑In: 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Bring in your poker hand during this time window — no stress, no rush, just smooth sailing.
🍽️ Saturday Meal: 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Enjoy great food, great company, and all the excitement as hands come in and winners get closer!
🍽️🤷♂️ Why No Friday Dinner… But the Price Is the Same?
Two reasons — one short, one sweet:
⭐ Short Answer:
Because we want to raise MORE money for Folds of Honor.
⭐ The Full Story:
JD’s on the Lake has generously donated the Friday meal to us for FREE every year.
So removing that dinner does not reduce our costs — because we weren’t paying for it in the first place.
And yes… costs everywhere are rising (you’ve seen the world lately).
BUT — don’t worry…
🙌 JD’s on the Lake stepped up AGAIN!
They are donating a portion of the Saturday meal to help offset expenses and keep more money flowing to the mission. Absolute legends.
