We're changing the raffle just a bit this year, because of past confusion (mostly mine) and some event logistics. Because Bruce Meyers will be our dinner speaker and we didn't want to run way long, we'll be moving the raffle up to start at 5pm, back at the hotel.
Bruce Stumpp will be managing Raffle activity. Raffle tickets will be available from several people and at the door of the Hospitality Room just before we start.
1. This year, we will be holding the raffle in our hospitality room at the hotel at 5pm on Saturday. That means that we'll have a mass exodus from the show field around 4pm (probably out the back way) back to the hotel.
2. Hold onto your raffle items until Saturday, then bring them to the hospitality room.
3. There will be a sign-up sheet for the raffle at both the show field tent AND at the hospitality room. Fill out a new line for each item donated.
4. We'll also have separate slips for each item. Take one for each you'll be donating and fill that out with Item number, Description and your name, then put it with the item on the tables so the winner will know from whom it came.
Sounds like a lot, but it really isn't and you'll then know who donated what (and there is always a lot of terrific stuff) and we might be able to keep track of who won what and report back later.
That's it.
See you at Carlisle!
