Subject: Success Charter Network Poker Tournament in NYC tomorrow night

I hope you’ll join me tomorrow night at the 4th Annual Charity Poker Tournament in NYC to benefit the Success Charter Network, which was founded by my friends Eva Moskowitz, John Petry and Joel Greenblatt. I've been a supporter since Day 1 and I think that they are building one of the best school networks in the country.

I've attended this event for the last four years and I am certain that in addition to being an incredibly worthy cause, it will be a lot fun and there will be great networking among New York’s top investors.

It’s at the W Hotel on 49th and Lex. Cocktails start at 6:30pm and the Texas Hold’em Tournament starts at 7:30pm.

It’s almost sold out (there are only 7 seats left for poker and 15 for cocktails), so if you’d like to come, please register at: www.scnschools.org/events/poker10

I hope to see you there!

1. WT is my next candidate for a pirate hat photoshop.

He is totally loathsome.

2. But not enough money for kids with disabilities

These people make me ill.

3. Maybe they need it because the "owners" raised the rent?

There was an article earlier today on DU where the Wall Street folks were buying up these charter schools, getting them started and then raising the rent to astronomical amounts.

Incredible how these people sleep at night.
