The Raffle Report
By TRUDY ROBINSON
At the 2010 reunion, the raffle was successful in bringing in $1235. There were 159 items generously donated for the raffle. For success, it requires the generosity of both the donated items and the ticket buyers. Both elements came through with flying colors.
I really appreciated all the raffle items that were sent ahead of time. This allowed me to get a head start on logging items in and getting them ready for display early Saturday morning. Please send as much as you can ahead of time, again this year, and feel free to bring additional items with you. However, the more I can do in advance, the smoother the process will be.
This will be our 2nd year to have a permanent structure for the raffle. It is in my plans to work on getting the gables and at least one end wall completed at Work Week, thus improving security of the raffle items from any inclement weather. This is an on-going expense out of my own pocket, so any donations will be humbly accepted and very much appreciated. I am so pleased (as I am sure you are) to be able shelter the items from wind, rain and sand.
We need plastic stacking cups to use in the raffle for ticket collections. Sunsweet Prunes has the perfect size. It is a white cup with blue lid (approximately 20 oz). It has a paper sleeve around the cup, but the plastic cup is white. If you consume prunes, please consider this brand and size and save the cups and lids for the reunion. I need about 200 and I don't think I can eat that many by reunion time.
Please use the below address to send raffle items or list of items you plan to bring.
