SALEM, Oregon � As reported by the Oregonian: 'Not getting enough Texas Hold 'Em action in tribal casinos, cardrooms, the Internet or your pal's weekly poker game? Well, now you can turn to charity.
'The Oregon Legislature gave its final OK Wednesday to legislation allowing charities to stage Texas Hold 'Em events as fundraisers. The betting is they'll become big moneymakers for service clubs, school foundations and other charities looking to entice donors. "
