hangemhigh said:After speaking with members here, we are gonna do something special with the remaining cue. We are looking for four people to split the cost of the cue between them so we can give the cue to a young, aspiring, pool player. The youngster will be selected from nominations by you, members of AZ. Give us a brief story about your candidate and why he or she is deserving. The youngster chosen will not only receive the cue, but lifetime service as long as they own the cue.
So, we need four Benefactors and as many candidates as possible. I think the four who step up should be the board that chooses the winning youngster as well. Thanks in advance to everyone who will make this possible!
Texas Prez said:I don't think I'm deserving of this cue but will still share my story and what I'm trying to do as a young pool player here in Texas:
My name is Jason Keller and I am the President of The Universoty of Texas Billiards Club. We play against other schools around Texas and have established the TIBA (Texas Intercollegiate Billiards Association) and have over a hundred members now from around Texas! Several of the schools are RecSports (University endorsed and sponsored) but as of right now UT is now on that list. I am trying to get us sponsored right now so that Billiards will get the recognition of being a true sport here at UT. I don't want to play at UT but for UT as it will help our club grow and prosper.
Like I said I don't think I am deserving of such a generous gift and I don't want to use my cause for self benefit... but if you guys have any ideas for me to get my club growing or are interested in contributing to our club's tournaments (not monetary but like discounts on cues we would pay for and use as prizes for winners in our tournaments) then I would greatly appreciate it.
I going to mention this giveaway to my club members and hopefully some of them will share their story as we have some great people who play here!
Good luck to all the contestants and thanks AzBilliards for everything...as well as to Thoroughbred and World Class for such a generous act!
