The Always Spring Foundation, Inc. along with L.G.B.A. will host a local
MONOPOLY Game Tournament on November 11, 1995 from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00
p.m. at StonyBrook University's Student Union Building.  Proceeds from the
tournament will benefit the Always Spring Foundation to help provide
Housing and Transportation to persons who are HIV positive or diagnosed
with AIDS. 

The Always Spring Foundation hopes to raise over $25,000.00 in donations
through the sponsorship of this day-long competition.  The tournament
includes two 90-minute preliminary rounds of the MONOPOLY game that each
participant is required to play, as well as a final round of play with the
top six competitors to determine the winner. 

According to Robert Sakowski, "Anyone interested in pitting their real
estate trading skills against other top players while helping out a worthy
cause should contact Always Spring Foundation, PO Box 359, Manorville, NY
11949 or telephone (516) 878-2735 to register.  The cost for a seat at the
tournament is $35.00 and we guarantee a lot of fun and excitement." 

This MONOPOLY game competition is one of many local tournaments being held
throughout the country.  The winner of this local tournament will qualify
for consideration for the State MONOPOLY game title and may go on to play
in the US MONOPOLY Game Championship.  The US Champion will then be
invited to compete in the prestigious World MONOPOLY Game Championship.
