>> AS to ticket sales, finding an organization  that will support the event by their members buying tickets was discussed. The Lions of Ridgefield was discussed as a possible organization. They are very supportive of activities at WSSB. Dean Stinjham is or was a member of the group. Vaughn is looking into this.

>> Patricia will  work with the raffle/donation  used of the event. Discussion of having baskets again was accepted. In order to have more winners, more but smaller raffle amount per package was discussed and accepted. ( instead of 1 large package with gift cards, use Smaller bags less ‘gift cards’ in a bag)
>> 
>> It was suggested that the ‘in kind donation’ letter be also in Spanish.
>> 
>> It was suggested we have a package forming session to create the raffle bags.
>> 
>> Kaye said she would head up the raffle.
>> 
>> Patricia noted there is someone she knows that could make a quilt and Kaye would make an Afghan again.
>> 
>> Those two items would be auctioned off.

>> 
>> Members  getting donations would list  who they are asking and send out an email to the chapter, wo we don’t duplicate asking the same businesses.
