Despite the strong breeze in the air, contestants participated in the second annual Rotary Poker Paddle with great enthusiasm.  Launching from the Reynolds Plantation Marina, the participants kayaked to seven neighboring docks.  At each dock, they selected a playing card.  Once they had received all seven cards, they paddled back to Marina where they played their hand at the dealer table.

During the cookout after the paddle contest, President Tom Cornelia announced that Lynn Partalis had the winning hand and received the grand prize, a night’s stay at The Ritz Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation as well as dinner for two at one of the restaurants located at the hotel.  The lucky winner of the Pelican kayak raffle was Dr. Ramona Warren.
