In furtherance of our decision I am attaching the informational letter which I encourage you to distribute widely to those in your circle of relationship, friendship, and acquaintance. As the letter notes, there are two (2) prizes, one for the winner of the pool and one for the chapter member who recruits the highest number of pool participants outside the chapter. Both prizes consist of a $50 gift card from the Salty Iguana which I chose for its multiple locations in the Lawrence/KC area and its ongoing tradition as a consistent supporter of KU athletics.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I, along with anyone who will volunteer to assist me, will make our best attempt to persuade the management to donate the gift certificates. Should this endeavor prove unsuccessful we will implement a backup plan to avoid the need to dip into chapter treasury to purchase the gift cards.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions before Selection Sunday on March 13, I will do my best to respond to a call, text, or email as soon as possible. I leave for national leadership training seminar at the Jernigan Institute in Baltimore on Wednesday and will return on Sunday.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I encourage all of you to participate in this fun-packed fukndraiser and will urge others to join us in this very worthwhile endeavor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
