FIRST Wales Sno-Drifters  Gun Raffle 

Our Raffle was a SUCCESS!

**************************************************************************************

 

We would like to thank everyone who helped to make our first annual 

gun raffle a success. Many hours were put into this fundraiser and our 

core group of people have been working behind the scenes for the past 2 

months to make this a success and I want to thank them for all their time. 

We had a great group of people who stepped up to help out this past week 

and at the raffle. We learned a lot on this first raffle and we hope to fine 

tune it to make it even better next year.

 

We will be having a recap meeting to review this year's raffle and to get 

everyone's input so we can improve on next year's raffle. The time and 

date for this meeting will be announced in the near future (we want to take 

care of matters as much as possible before the meeting so our information 

is accurate and up to date). 

 

I would like to especially thank Barb, Brenda and Dena for all the work they

 did building up to the raffle and for taking on the added jobs of leading the 

auctions and dessert table.

Thanks,
