Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations
As I mentioned last week, PPA had a booth at the World Series of Poker® at the Rio Hotel & Casino last weekend. PPA Director of Grassroots Drew Lesofski and Member Relations Specialist Dave McGoldrick were on hand to meet with the poker community to talk about all PPA is doing and what members can do to support the fight for poker. I’m pleased to report that the weekend was a terrific success! The booth was filled with poker players and enthusiasts. I am very happy that we were able to do this.
PPA will be back at the World Series of Poker for the weekends of 6/21-6/24 and 7/5-7/9 (the opening days of the Main Event). PPA Executive Director John Pappas and I will be there the weekend of 6/21. I will be there the weekend of 7/5 as well. I encourage you to stop by the booth to talk about the latest in the push for poker legislation, to find out what you can do to get more involved, and to renew your membership!

New York Advocacy
PPA Executive Director John Pappas was in Albany, New York yesterday to meet with lawmakers to discuss opportunities to license and regulate online poker in that state. With a need for revenue and ongoing discussions for expanded gaming in the state, online poker clearly has a place in the discussion.
John received much positive feedback in his meetings.
