Poker run benefit for Precious Angels
Saturday morning up to 50 motorcyclists departed from the F.O.E. Eagles Aerie 2675 in Centerville on a poker run to benefit Precious Angels. The club treasurer and Eagle Riders vice president, Tim Moore, said they sold at least 109 poker hands. Hands sold one for $5 or three for $10. Last year the Eagle Riders held a benefit run for Jennifer Starr and a charity auction for Angel's Hands. The route the riders took for the poker run took them west out of Centerville, north through Mystic, Walnut City, Griffinsville, Confidence, Russell, Chariton, Oakley and Lacona before heading back south for the final stop in Melrose at the Ole Red Barn to determine who drew the highest hand. Precious Angels is a volunteer organization that distributes clothing, burial outfits and caskets to families who have a stillborn or preemie baby and cannot afford the items. Precious Angels is a non-profit organization that receives no state or federal funding and depends entirely on contributions. The Precious Angels Web site is www.precious-angels.org.
