Funny you should ask, this was posted yesterday. Live auction in Dubai on Thursday, so get your tickets quick.

Could not have enjoyed hanging with you more. Highlights include how to properly pronounce bag, @anon47037505 hating on TBC Thursday night, and living our best C-Suite life at the casita.

Lowlights include you having to see my golf swing and probably throwing up in your mouth a little bit.

Thanks for all you did Dan and looking forward to another round when I can actually make contact with the ball!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From: Duel at the Alamo Executive Committee

Subject: Refuge Good Deeds

Esteemed Refuge Members,

It is my pleasure to announce the final charitable totals from our Duel at the Alamo event this past weekend. Prior to today, Refuge members had already donated $1,963 for Magdalena House. Per @jbrooks, Magdalena has indicated that amount will cover 1 year of counseling for an abused mother or 2 months of utilities for the 5 houses they operate.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, I’m excited to add the following numbers:

Birdie/Par Donations - $160
Yardage Book Donations - $512
Ace Pot Donation - $83
Gift from our friends at Walker Trolleys - $100
Auction Proceeds - $2,865

This gives us $3,720 and a grand total of $5,683 to benefit Magdalena House! This is enough to really make a difference and I could not be prouder to have participated in this event. Thank you to all who turned out and to everyone for contributing to the cause.

Special thanks to those who gave generously, including @anon24718094 @therealmarkymark @chaptits @cgroom @bmb430 @RobertHunter @rka @DuckDuckHook @bored_6m

There are many others as well (shout out jbpayne32, imsocrabby, TexasWedge) so please know we see and appreciate you!

One other item to add…this email was just sent to JBrooks from his contact at Magdalena House:

Thanks to @djpie @Tron @Randy @Soly @MerchCzar for their support and throwing in a last minute NIT spot for the auction. That alone put us over the $5K mark and made a real difference for the cause. Thank you gentlemen for creating such an exceptional community.

I got an update from Magdalena House after @BaxterMSP made the auction donation.

A $5,000 donation can pay for any of the following:

  • 6 months of supplemental food, supplies and diapers for all our families (12 families)
  • two semesters of childcare for one child
  • a semester of tuition and textbooks for a mother in an English as a Second Language program
  • legal work and government fees for one victim of human trafficking
  • 5 months of utilities for 12 families
  • 6 months of counseling with a Licensed Professional Counselor for 5 women

Again, thanks to all of you for helping raise money for a great cause. Magdalena House is extremely appreciative of this donation and we all got a great weekend of golf out of it.
