**RAFFLE TICKET SALES UPDATE**
My fellow Rotarians,
We are now two thirds of the way into our Annual Raffle. Unfortunately, we are SHORT OF our target. We are averaging 54 tickets sold per week. If this rate continues, we will sell only 430 tickets, leaving us 90 tickets short of our goal of 530 tickets.  That means we will have $9000 less to award a local not-for-profit organization.  That is $9,000 less for a much needed project at a time when many charities are struggling to meet their needs. Our Rotary has made a difference in the past.  Let’s all do our part to continue that tradition and to make the Raffle a success again this year.  Remember we are asking that each Rotarian sell or purchase at least 4 tickets. 
Thank You and Good Luck,
Dan Kuska
