One of the funnest (and funniest) nights we had in Sacramento was the first SARTA Poker Tournament. Lots of good natured, but highly competitive, poker playing. (Yes, that was Michelle Hallsten, partner in a local prominent law firm, with the sunglasses on to ensure no one could read her eyes and she got into the final table and yes, that was Tom Kandris, CEO of a locally established company who came in second). There was great food, great rivalries, and a great time had by all. And we have by now forgotten that it poured cats and dogs, it was freezing, and a trip to the bathroom required a flashlight (and many a shoe left in the mud!)

And then there were no more as the State of California had issues with poker touraments whether they were for a great charity or not. But now that the state has made this event legal (with lots of lobbying by SARTA members), so SARTA is throwing another one. Plan on attending:
