2014 Raffle

It’s that time again – selling raffle tickets. 

This is a crucial part of the economic success of our photo competition and exhibition. In order to make a worthwhile contribution to Yea Hospital we need to maximise ticket sales.

Please let John C know your availability to sell tickets outside Foodworks Yea and the Alex. Newsgency. I will then circulate a completed roster. Shifts are just 2 hours so please give up a little time to the raffle and help make this years event another success. John has emailed out a roster to all members so please consider giving us 2 hours.

The club has organised a photographic visit to Flowerdale Estate for Sunday August 24th meeting there at 1.00pm . Afternoon tea is available at a cost of $40 per head.(We have a booking for 7 – 10 at this stage). We are invited to submit photographs for use in their publicity. This activity apart from an opportunity to get out and take photographs will also support their offer to supply 1st. prize in the raffle.

Please let John C know before Sunday 16th whether you will be attending.
