Fundraisers continue:  Rebecca talked about the pre sale of tickets for the raffle: She asked each person to help her track tickets by writing the range of numbers taken. She stated that each ticket have the name and phone number of the person you are selling the ticket to. Each ticket entry needs to be placed in the appropriate box (corresponding to the basket/prize of interest) before the drawing which takes place at around 8:30 pm at Snow Eagle. She stated that winning ticket will be delivered by the person who sold the ticket unless of course the winner is present at the drawing. Points are awarded based on money turned in from ticket sales (1 point for each $80). Ticket pricing is 1 ticket for $1, 6 tickets for $5, or a wingspan (nominally 40 tickets) for $20. The wingspan is a really good deal, so you may find you need a lot of tickets to earn as many points as you can.
