Calling All Volunteers!
At the Cajundome Convention Center
Friday, January 23rd, 2009
Chevron and United way are partnering together to host a No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament to raise money for the United Way of Acadiana.

Below is a list of the positions available, please read your role and responsibilities carefully and contact Mark Dean at 337-989-3252 or by email at markdean@chevron.com if you are interested in lending a hand.
