All,
Next Sunday, Jan 20th at 2:00pm will be the last meeting before the banquet. at the Collinsville Columbus Plaza Banquet and Meeting Center. We will discuss preparations for the banquet and this is your last chance to get your raffle tickets before the banquet.
For those not familiar with the Dues/Raffle Tickets you buy your raffle tickets with your annual $65 membership dues. We will hand you 100 raffle tickets. You can sell them individually for $1 each or you can keep them and put your own name on them. They are yours to keep and you keep all the funds associated with selling the raffle tickets. You must turn in your ticket stubs at the banquet or make arrangements to turn in your stubs if you cannot attend the banquet. Some members just put their own name on them and some members sell them to offset the cost of the dues (your choice). If you decide to sell them you keep all the money and you can virtually pay for your annual dues as well as 1 tournament. If you live out of town then let us know and we can mail your the tickets for you to sell. The Raffle Tickets will be available at the banquet as well After the banquet you will just pay your dues with no exchange of raffle tickets.
The banquet will be on Saturday, January 26th at 6:00pm at the Collinsville Columbus Plaza Banquet and Meeting Center. This will be a special year for the banquet because it is the 30th anniversary of the Club. New members are certainly invited to attend the club banquet as well, be sure to bring your significant other and you will have a great time. We will send out more banquet details as the date approaches.
If you want your raffle tickets before the next meeting please contact Ed Montgomery and he can make arrangements to get them to you in exchange for your club dues.
Look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting and the banquet.
Ed Montgomery
