Program:  Tonight instead of a program, we had a “practice” reverse raffle and training session.  George Bufkin and Ed McGannon explained to the rest of us the rules of a reverse raffle.  Then we practiced with $0.50 and $1.00 sideboards.  The money raised from the sideboards replaced the money normally collected by  the Sgt @ Arms for the students. 

George Bufkin, Ed McGannon and Brad Grubb sold 90 tickets by themselves!  They worked extremely hard on this fundraiser and encouraged members to sell the remaining tickets.  Rod Cook ran with this and sold tickets to the tables as group tickets.  Great thinking Rod!!

Reverse Raffle Preview:  Friday night was a lot of fun at the Reverse Raffle.  We did have some remaining tickets at the beginning of the night, but with some discounting and creative ideas, all of the tickets were sold.  Tickets were sold at the door to ticketholders for $30 if they wanted another chance to win the big money... Some tables had people pitch in and shared tickets to better their chances... Some people paid $10 to play poker and win another ticket in the hand (great idea from Leo, Andrea’s fiance).

     The main board ended up being split between the last 5 people, as did one of the $5 side boards.  The $10 board was split between 3 people.  More details to follow….
