President's Message
Bert Carter
 
Thanks to everyone who helped garner a prize for the Calendar Raffle.  I have given all the information to PIP printing to print the tickets.  I hope we will have them for this week’s meeting.  We have some really great prizes, the tickets should sell themselves.  As we did last year, each member will get 10 tickets to start.  If you sell all 10, we will definitely get you more.  Ticket price will be $10.  The total prize value is over $2300.  This is our big fundraiser for the year, so we need all hands on deck.  Drawings will be once a week at our Friday meetings.  Be sure to get all sold tickets turned in by Friday the 28th.  Our first drawing will be the following Friday.
 
Let’s make this a big success!

In Service, 

Bert
