Thanks to everyone who attended the benefit. We had
a high raffle ticket expense and so the net amount raised was $862.
Added on to our $1658 from our online auction, we raised $2520.00
this fall! Our raffle was a success and a learning experience. Although
we had to purchase the prizes, we were able to support the local
business, Full Compass Systems, and have already submitted a proposal
to them for next year requesting a laptop donation. The donated laptop
will ensure that we have a more appealing raffle prize so we have
more fundraising capabilities. 91 raffle tickets were sold over three
weeks - we hope to quadruple these sales next year by selling the
tickets four months in advance. Please view the end of this summary
to read the acknowledgements of the businesses, patrons, and volunteers
who made the fall 2007 benefit a success.
