Program: Reverse Raffle Committee
 
Our club’s signature event, the Reverse Raffle, will be held at the Moose Lodge again this year on 18 April. Several members of the committee spoke to us about how the planning is coming along and what still needs to be done. This will be the eighth year for the Reverse Raffle. The event has been tremendously successful and we have netted over $120,000 from the previous seven years. This is the event that allows us to support so many worthy causes all year long, and it is our only fundraiser. Things are coming together nicely. However, we are still in need of a good auctioneer.  If anyone has ideas let Karla Dwyer know. Next week tickets will be available, so start thinking about who you are going to sell to. Remember that the Reverse Raffle is a huge undertaking, and the club needs everyone at the event to make it successful. Assignments will be out soon, and if you have a preference on what your assignment is let Karla know. Please wear red on the night of the event so we can be easily identified. Members should be there no later than 5PM. Doors open to the public at 5:30.
