[Nfbf-l] NFBF Fast Cash Raffle Drawing

[Gina Minichiello]

I remembered Tuesday morning that the drawing was to take place that day, but forgot all about until I got Dan's voicemail.
I think I only bought 7-8 tickets for myself. The rest I put family and friends names on.
It only takes one ticket to win, and the odds of winning are much better than the lotto.
Thanks everyone. A special thanks to Gloria for drawing my name.

Fellow NFBF Members, 

  

The 2012 “Fast Cash Holiday Raffle” drawing has taken place. NFBF Treasurer Gloria Mills Hicks drew the winning ticket this evening. The Winner is Gina Minichiello of our Jacksonville Chapter. Gina will receive one-half of the proceeds from the raffle (minus expenses) which amount to a jackpot prize of about $1,100.00! 

  

The drawing took place at The Deck in Tampa. You can watch it here:

The other approximately $1,100.00 will be distributed among the chapters, according to how many tickets each chapter sold.   

  

Congratulations to Gina! Thank you to Larry Marten, Fundraising Committee Chairperson and to the NFBF Board of Directors. And a special thank you to everyone who promoted our raffle and everyone who purchased and / or sold tickets! 

  

Happy Holidays everyone! 

  

Dan Hicks, President
