    • club members were asked to donate Dept 56/household/decorative items for a charity raffle; as usual, our generous members responded overwhelmingly and more than 100 prizes were collected
    • each prize was tagged with a number and if you drew a ticket from a drum matching the prize’s number, you would be the lucky owner of that prize
    • the cost of 3 tickets was only $1 and at the end of the raffle, close to $90 was raised for our charity!
