Harrison Lake Poker Run Society

Chairman
Living in Agassiz dividing my time between my career at Coast Mountain Bus Company as an Inspector, Pacific Marine Performance (Marine rigging, repairs and upholstery) and the poker run, I am back again as Chairman this year. (Where do we find the time?) We will be bringing you another great event for 2010. Live music at all the venues, great food and plenty of entertainment. I look forward seeing all past participants along with many new!

Vice - Chairman
Kurt is an original Harrison lake Poker runner and has participated every year since it's inception. He purchased a summer home in the village several years ago and many in town consider him to be a local. This is his second year as a 'society member' and first as an elected official. Next year he vows to stay in the room during nominations.

Lunch Stop Marshall
This is the first year of my involvement with the Harrison Lake Poker Run. I love Harrison Lake and have boated out of the Harrison Yacht Club since 1994. I also serve on the Harrison Lake Harbor Commission and have a keen interest in anything that takes place on the lake. After retiring from a career in municipal government administration, I recently moved to Harrison Hot Springs from Chilliwack, BC and hope to become more involved in our resort community.

This is Lesa's first year working with the Harrison Lake Poker Run and she is super excited to join the team! Lesa expects to be leaning heavily on the existing society members to complete her role as Card Master this year the relative newcomer. Lesa and her husband Erik run Lacey Developments and have enjoyed building some of the cabins on the Harrison River and Lake. Lesa spends time at home with her two year old and her dogs. Their family spends most weekends in the summer up at her cabin on Harrison River enjoying the most beautiful place on earth!
