Thanks again to all the Rotarians who have turned in tickets for this year’s raffle. We continue to inch towards our goal of raising $55,000. With only one week left to go, the heat is on! Keep selling!!
The Green Bay Packers, under Coach Jen Howard, have moved into the lead with 33 tickets sold. Coach Jeff Pierson’s Chicago Bears and Coach Brian Benton’s Detroit Lions are tied for second place with 22 tickets sold.
In third place are the Denver Broncos, led by Venus Fisher, with 20 tickets sold. And the Baltimore Ravens, under Coach Greg Peerbolte, are in fourth place selling 17 tickets.
Thirty-nine Rotarians have met or exceeded their responsibility of selling at least three tickets. Currently, 63 Rotarians have turned in tickets. There are still plenty of tickets available.
Your efforts are sincerely appreciated and mirror our motto “Service Above Self”. Very proud of you all.
