[NFBMT] Kenneth Jernigan Raffle Tickets ... almost gone

Sun Jul 2 19:10:15 UTC 2017

I have the money to give to the convention for the tickets that were sold in
Montana.  They will draw at the banquet to see who gets to go to next year's
convention free.  You and Jim are in the running.

Have the tickets been sold.
Do I understand we will go to Texas?
Or did i read wrong?
Just a thought.
Won't send anything to you until I know the tickets have not been sold.
