Local News - Comics, Poker, Toilet Paper Drive!
Howdy!
Excellent progress continues to be made at all of
our three retail stores
on expanding our already-impressive selections of $1 comics. I personally worked
late at
Jason St.
on Monday and Tuesday selecting even more $1 comics from that huge Dallas, Texas deal
that I purchased in November, while Pam and Will continue to add $1 issues from the
Las Vegas deal.
Jason St.
now has three full double tables of brand new $1 issues, which is the largest selection
of new material that we've been able to offer you in over four years!

In other news, we have chosen the
St. Francis Center for the Homeless
as the beneficiary of the proceeds from our upcoming Saturday, March 18th Texas Hold'em
Poker Tournament at
Jason St.
The
St. Francis Center
provides a daytime refuge for 600-700 of Denver's most at-risk homeless and disabled adults.
Many of these people sleep with their heads resting on tables at the
St. Francis Center
during the day, as they are afraid to go to the large public shelters at night. Suffice
it to say, life on the streets can be extremely rough.
Line to get into the St. Francis Center
All of the above having been said, we met with the director of the
St. Francis Center
on Monday, and asked what were their greatest needs. He told us that they always need shoes
and boots of any kind, and that they burn through entire truckloads of toilet paper each
week. Simply put, there are not very many public toilets available to the homeless, so
they have no choice but to use the facilities at the
St. Francis Center.
When 600-700 people a day utilize your restroom facilities, you are going to need constant
restocking.
Crowd outside St. Francis Center
In a nutshell, that is why the 100% of the proceeds from our next poker tournament will go
to buy massive quantities of toilet paper for the
St. Francis Center.
If you would like to play in our tournament, the advance registration entry fee is only $25.
There is actually zero cost to you to play, however, as all advance registrants immediately
receive a $25 gift certificate that can be immediately utilized at
any of our stores,
or
online.
First prize in the tournament is a $500 Mile High Comics shopping spree, with $200 for 2nd,
and $100 each for 3rd-5th. No matter how you cut it, this is a great deal for you!
In addition to the poker tournament, we are also going to be offering a chance drawing for
another $500 shopping spree. Cost per ticket is only $1, or one wrapped roll of toilet paper.
The drawing will be held on Saturday, March 18th, at 2 PM. Tickets can be obtained at
any of our three locations.
You need not be present to win!

My final item for today is a quick mention that we will be hosting a no-minimum-bid comics,
toys, and collectibles auction at
Jason St.
on Saturday, March 25th. Half of the items in the auction will benefit
Mile High Comics,
but 100% of the proceeds from the second half will be donated to the
St. Francis Center.
We do very much need donations of unwanted comics, books, and other collectibles for this
benefit auction, so if you have some items that no longer fit in with your present collecting
tastes, please donate them. You can drop your donations off at
any of our three retail stores.
All proceeds from the sale of your items will go directly toward helping the poor served
by the
St. Francis Center...
Happy collecting!

President - Mile High Comics, Inc.
