Toys for Tots Poker Run Dec. 17th Jacksonville Fl

[boatclinic]

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17 (We Know Short notice)
We will gather at Goodby's Creek launch ramp (across the street from Hooters on San Jose Blvd at Baymeadows Rd, in Jacksonville, FL (easy access from I-95, just Exit I-95 at the Baymeadows exit and go west until it ends at San Jose Blvd. Hooters is to your left. Turn left, cross the creek and turn left into the launch ramp parking area.) at 10:00AM for those that want some time to talk boat and peek into engine compartments before we go. Cheap gas is available at several locations within two blocks. Hooters in downtown Jax will be our lunch stop.
If the weather is very nice we can add some distance to the run to Hooters downtown.
If the weather sux we can just leave the boats on the trailers, talk about them, then go across the street to Hooters and gather there.

Bring a $20+ toy, unwrapped, to donate to Toys for Tots. I will make the donation of the toys in the name of the SEADOGs.

Additional, for those interested, we will each throw $10 into the pot and play one Poker Hand. It will be a single deck, 5 card draw, with two card max throw. Winner takes all. Cards will be delt at Hooters. If we get enough boats, the winner could win enough to pay for his gas that day.

Those who want to stay overnight somewhere can safely keep their boat at my house overnight. I have ample room for a minimum of 8 boat trailers with boats at my house. And I don't have any sprinkler heads to worry about.
La Quinta Inn motel is close and cheap. It is located on San Jose Blvd/Hartley Rd which is the Mandarin Exit of I-295. Make your reservations individually.
