A newsletter raffle to help with this year's cost will continue this month. We will sell 1000 tickets at $5. each. First prize will be $500. with four
other prizes of $100. each. The tickets are part of the May newsletter. One of the newsletter pages will include three tickets. You don't have to
purchase all three, but if you would like to buy/sell the other two you are welcome to do so. We hope all members will buy at least one ticket. All
ticket holders will be responsible for mailing in the stub and check for any tickets purchased. The raffle drawing will be held at the Landowners

Additional raffle tickets will be available at each meeting throughout the season and at all Club events. The Chairperson for this raffle is Dorine
Setter who can be reached at 315-350-9609 with any questions.
Remember, if all members bought just one ticket the cost for printing and mailing the newsletter would be covered for the year. We need your help to
bring you all the news you deserve.
