We are going to need help from chapter members to make this a successful fundraising event. I am going to attach our flyer and our donation letter to this email for you to help with finding donations or selling tickets for the event. We are making baskets to raffle off and they will hold various donations that we receive. We will be putting together the baskets on Friday 9/11. If you have donations to go into the baskets, we need them by 9/10.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Tickets are $25 each. With this ticket each person gets entrance to the event. They can choose either a flight of different wines, a glass of wine, or another beverage such as Italian sodas. There will be a complementary snack table for those that would like a snack. We will also have local musicians playing for entertainment. If you have sold tickets, please send Corey the information of the person’s who bought the tickets name, phone number, and email, if you have it, as he will be compiling the information for the event. His email is <a href="mailto:corey.grandstaff@gmail.com">corey.grandstaff@gmail.com</a>. His cell is: (419)768-1523. Corey will also be able to sell tickets at the door. Tickets bought at the event can be purchased with either cash or digitally with a credit or debit card. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We will be offering two different levels of raffle baskets.

The super raffle tickets will be sold for $5 a ticket. We have not made the other baskets yet, so the items inside have not been decided yet.
