DON'T FORGET, I NEED EVERYONE'S PAYMENT IN ASAP!!

You can always send a money order or cashiers check. I more than likely won't be down south in the next couple of weeks. You can always drop off the money any day since we work at home if that's easier.

J

Yes, so bring extra cash to buy additional raffle tickets to increase your chances of winning one of the many prizes donated by some very generous vendors on NSXPrime.

TOYS FOR TOTS:
Donated toys should be valued from $10 - $15 each, they must be new and in the orginal package. No plush or stuffed animals can be distributed due to health concerns.

Everyone, please remember to bring a toy to the dinner if you are able to. Remember that we're going to be making a donation to Toys for Tots again this year. One of the officers will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we get one raffle ticket for each toy we bring.

I'm sure they'll be selling extra raffle tickets too, so make sure to bring cash to buy more to increase your chances of winning.

I believe the way they're going to do it is to have a container for each raffle item. You put your ticket(s) into only the container(s) that represent the prize you want to win. This assures that your chances of winning the prize you want is maximized. Buy lots of tickets to really increase your chances (that's what I'm going to do... it worked last year!).

Mike, Chuck or Yolanda: how much are the extra raffle tickets going to be sold for?

J

PS: I'm not a chapter officer, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night :biggrin:

 

[MikeC_587]

James is right, what he described is exactly how we will conduct this years raffle.

Below is the breakdown for purchasing additional raffle tickets that will be available at the dinner.

1 additional Ticket for $5
3 additional Tickets for $10
6 additional Tickets for $15

Increase your chances of winning!! There will be some great prizes to be raffled off!!

I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday!!

James, I'm glad that you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :biggrin:
