On June 24, the Tommyknockers, a nonprofit organization out of Mina, held a Poker Run hosted by the Mina Club and sponsored by Merritt Construction, Inc. This well-attended event had 245 participants and many enthusiastic volunteers that helped to make for a fun-filled day.
Tracy Larramendy won the event and was so gracious to donate back $1,000 of his winnings. That amount added to the already impressive take for the day came to a total of $6,475. This event was held to benefit the Mina Library. As a result, Mina Library received a check for $6,475 from the Mina Tommyknockers for the benefit and betterment of this beloved library.
Courtney Oberhansli, Director of Mineral County Library, and Rita Crist, Mina Librarian, are astounded and grateful for this amazing donation. They have been busy discussing many options for the improvement of Mina Library.
A very grateful thank you goes out to the Mina Tommyknockers, Jerrine Ford, Tracy Larramendy for his generous donation, and all participants who helped to make this event so special.
