7 4-H ers, I know the year is coming to a close, but we have one more thing we would like to do in support of The Adult Leaders Association. We are going to try something we have not done before that I know of (or at least in a very long time), we are going to have a RAFFLE! We will be drawing for two items: a Ruger 9mm pistol and a Savage Axis II 270 Win rifle. The drawing will be held at the Cake Show on August 8, You have all summer to sell tickets. Money raised will go towards helping the Adult Leaders with the cost to send our youth to camps, district and state roundup, national trips, and other county events and programs. Ticket costs are: 1 ticket for $10 3 tickets for $25 7 tickets for $50 15 tickets for $100 *First ticket drawn will get choice of items and 2nd ticket will get remaining item. **Winner does NOT have to be present at time of drawing. We would like for one adult representative, treasurer if possible, to be in charge of distributing the tickets to club members and to collect the money along with the ticket stubs that have been sold. Please arrange pickup and drop-off of tickets with your club manager! Raffle tickets can be picked up at the Extension Office on HWY 21 W. There will be a bag for each club with tickets divided in groups of 15 and a form so members can keep track of how many tickets sold to help with final money count, etc. If you have members who can sell these, please give them a bag of tickets. Money and stubs can be turned in at officer training to be held the weekend of Aug. or at the cake show on August 8th. Please do not ask the folks at the Extension office to make change, they cannot do this. If you have any questions, please let me know. We appreciate your continued support! Thanks!
