Charity Game for Gordon Kato Memorial Scholarship

Dear Graduate and Professional Student Community:
As you may know, shortly after his death, a scholarship fund was established in memory of Gordon Kato, a graduate student in Psychology who passed away in 2006. Along with several of Gordon's other friends, we have recently been conducting a fund drive with the goal of raising $5,000 for the scholarship.

Many of us remember Gordon for the monthly card games he would host at his house. With that in mind, we will be hosting a charity Texas Hold'em Tournament to raise money for the scholarship. The event will be Sunday, May 18, at 2pm at the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge at 1580 W. Bloomfield Rd. There will be a $500 dollar cash prize to the tournament winner, along with additional prizes to top places. The tournament entry fee is $20, and additionally, we recommend a tax-deductible donation of $20 to $100. Of course, all donations will be accepted regardless of their size.

We can accept cash or checks made payable to the "IU Foundation" with a memo that reads "Gordon Kato Memorial Scholarship." Family and friends are welcome to attend. Other card games will also be available to play (e.g., Euchre). Food and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided, and there will be a cash bar at the event. This event will be informal (Hawaiian T-shirts optional).

TO RESERVE A SEAT, PLEASE RSVP soon by email to Anthony Bishara (abishara@indiana.edu) with the number of people attending. We hope that you will be able to attend, but if you cannot, we hope that you will be able to donate to this cause. Checks can be sent to Professor Jim Sherman, Dept. of Psychological & Brain Sciences, 1101 E. Tenth St., Bloomington, IN 47405. Sincerely,

Anthony Bishara
