Hello to all American Blind Bowlers, here is hoping that each of you
is having an enjoyable summer. I also hope that you looking forward to
another fun filled bowling season.
During our May convention, we voted to host a 300 ticket raffle to
help raise money to substain our organization. With the cost of
everything going up, we have the desire to keep our cost of bowling down
so that more visually impaired bowlers can continue to bowl.
There are only two ways to make that happen:
You will be hearing from the Public Relations
committee in the future regarding the things we wish to try to increase
our membership.
About the Lucky 300, this raffle is a win win for at least 5
bowlers, or potentially 5 leagues, or a combination of leagues or
friends or associates. This raffle is designed to raise $15,000 for the
ABBA. $15,000 would greatly help our organization. Let us look at how
we can purchase these tickets.
the cost of a ticket is $100. Your league can buy a ticket and put the
money in its treasury; your league can buy tickets and split the money
with the league and its' members; two or more people can purchase a
ticket together; Then of course a lot of you know someone that can and
will buy a ticket if you ask them, please ask them; also Lions clubs,
Rotary clubs, Knights of columbus, and other nonprofit clubs will buy a
ticket if you ask them. In short, we have 300 tickets and there are
1500 of us, therefore if each member would commit to $20, all the
tickets would be sold.
The drawing is schedule to take place as soon as all the tickets are
sold. If we do not sell all of the tickets, we will still draw on May 30th,
2010 at our next Convention. Let's make it happen.
