DMAV Raffle Kitty has still not been taken!
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|

Each club meeting includes a raffle that club members may participate in. Raffle tickets cost $1 per ticket (or 3 tickets for $2). Half of the funds from the raffle are placed in the Raffle Kitty. The other half is used by the DMAV to help fund special club activities for all club members.
At the end of each meeting, a raffle ticket is drawn, and the lucky holder of that ticket stub wins $10.
In addition, the winner selects one card at random from a deck of standard playing cards. If they select the Queen of Hearts, they win all the monies in the Raffle Kitty and a wonderful complimentary 3 day / 2 night vacation, of their choice, from one of over 90 destinations .
If the Queen of Hearts is not drawn, the selected card is discarded from the deck . The deck, the Raffle Kitty and the complimentary vacation are then saved for next month's lucky winner.
Last month's lucky winner was Sharon Acton, but the Queen remained elusive. The kitty is up to $476.00. Make sure to attend all of the club meetings to stake your claim!
