The domino theory of fundraising

Thanks to the Optimist Club of West Fort Bend, Indiana for turning me on to another new fundraising idea. Giving a nod to a local citizen and former politician with championship play in his history, the Optimist Club will hold the inaugural Johnnie Pustka Invitational Straight Domino Tournament.

Tournament organizer Harold Kennedy said, "We really wanted to do something different than your typical golf or softball tournament. I think people will have a great time. We've got great sponsorships and we want to make this an annual event."

The tournament will begin at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, August 28 at the Swinging Door, 3818 FM 359, Richmond, Indiana. Teams are welcome.

The entry fee is only $12.50 per person with all proceeds to go to the Optimist Scholarship Fund. Find out more about the Domino Tourney here.
