*Raffle information:

1.The raffle is on a voluntary basis. If you volunteer to be responsible for the raffle one month it is your responsibility to locate/secure the raffle prizes, or ask businesses to donate to the raffle. You need to bring the raffle items to the meeting you volunteered for. You sell the raffle tickets at the meeting you are responsible for, or you can ask for help on selling theraffle tickets.

2.The reason behind the raffle is to build up the raffle fund to have a Christmas raffle that no one is responsible for.

3.Some of the raffle money also goes towards Toys for Tots each year.

4.We encourage every member to volunteer for a raffle. You can volunteer on your own, or make it a joint venture. Thank you in advance for considering volunteering for the raffle.
