Tickets go on sale at our next club meeting, February 16, through the April 20 meeting. Your payment for additional tickets must be received by April 20. (Any member needing special financial consideration should speak with a club officer.) You must have your ticket to be eligible for the prize drawings, so do not forget to bring it to the party.
There will not be a gift exchange. However, we would like to have a door prize for everyone, so please donate a door prize—approximately a $10 value.
The gold and silver guess contest winners will be announced at the party, and we will have the usual gold and silver prizes.
There will also be a special opportunity available. Rick and Susan Cremering have generously again donated a weekend of the winner’s choice at Yonah South Cabin in North Georgia. The cabin can accommodate large family groups and has an extensive play area for kids, outside fire pit, sauna, hot tub, grill area, screened rocking porch and a gold panning creek.
Tickets for a chance to win the Yonah South Cabin weekend are being sold at all meetings prior to and at the party with all proceeds going to the club. Tickets are $10 each or 3 chances for $20.
