Duke's Brunch & Poker Run
For several years now, Duke's Huntington Beach has opened their doors early for the SoCal Viper Club to enjoy their Sunday Brunch with preferred front row parking and this year will be no different. Last year we changed things up a bit by following brunch with a Texas Hold'em Poker Run, which took us to a cool park in Laguna Niguel. This turned out to be a lot of fun and we'll have the poker run again.
Arrive at Duke's at 9-9:30AM
Doors open for brunch at 9:45AM
We'll park our own cars - but there will be a small valet charge
Breakfast will be in the Huntington Beach Room overlooking the ocean and pier.
Enter through the Barefoot Bar Entrance (north side).
Please note, that we'll have tables of 6-8 persons and Duke's will bill us by table.
Poker Run - Depart Duke's at 11AM
1st Stop Fashion Island – Pick up your first poker card
2nd Stop Crystal Cove – Pick up your second poker card
3rd Stop Laguna Niguel – The final cards will be played
"Will you be the WINNER?" =28

Art, I'm not sure...but hopefully it's like riding a bike! <o Lance, Thank's for the reminder on the "Start" button. ^8 I'll have to put a Post-It next to it to constantly remind me. Looking forward to catching up with you guys.
Cheryl and I plan on attending.
Mike

Cathy,
On April 20th I replied that we never win at poker. Dumb me, I didn't say we would like to play poker but we never win. Please put us on the list. =28

Hi Cathy,
Regarding my request for a guest, I didn't know if that were possible. They would obviously have to drive there own car. If there was room for them, where would parking be for them ?
Thanks,
Jim Sheppard
Please sign up Mike and Yoko for Duke's branch and poker run.
Thank you,
Mike Fujita
All,
Friends and family are welcome to attend this event.
Dukes provides quite a "spread".
Just please ask them to park their non-Vipers out of our group and to drive at the end of our caravan if they are following our group.
Thanks,
Dan
I'll be there >q
+1 passenger

If there is still space, Ben and Mikey would like to join.
Thanks.
Hey Ben,
Glad you are coming out !
I still have your poker chips.....You better hide them from Lori. =28
She's notorious for taking the other kids lunch money !
Hey Lance, I forgot all about those chips. Thanks for reminding me. We need to take the wives out to Pala or Valley View so they can get their fix.
See you Sunday.
Dan & Mayo will attend - if there is still room for two more!
We will caravan with the North OC/LA group.
Fun event Guys and Girls!

Hey Lance,
Some really nice pics.
Missed Art and a few others.
Maybe next year .....
Dan
Lance,
Thanks for sharing the pics. Wonder if Eddie will be moving to Vegas now? But then again, California Adventure is closer.
Dan,
Bummed I missed the run, but definitely will be there next year.
Funny thing, Mike Buckingham's 2 "hole cards" were both Aces.
Then I flipped up a pair of nines and an ace.
Mike won last year too - lucky guy.
Dan
Dan & Cathy, thanks for all your hard work putting on this great event!!!
Dave, great to see you stay cool in the desert!!!
Lance as always great work and great pictures.
I know everyone had a fun time and it's always good to see the group, and this year have cool weather!!!
In addition to winning twice in a row, we've also won back to back Big Dave E-brake kits in the raffles!!! These are some bonuses to be part of a really great club!!!!!
Looks like Duke's was fun again this year... Sorry I missed it. I've gone on every Duke's run since I got a Viper...
Dai had the stomach flu, so I decided to stay home this year =16
I didn't want contaminate any club members
Next year...
