Suffice it to say, since the program's inception in 1973, our club has put about $350,000 back into our community's youth groups! Last year, we raised about $17,000 and made grants to some 25 different youth groups.
Most members have received their list of merchants to solicit. Please get these done ASAP and return the lists to Perry or Larry no later than Feb 24th. If you have acquaintances you'd like to solicit, check with Perry or Larry to see the master list.
In addition to auction items, local youth groups will be selling raffle tickets for two $250 Emmett Shopping Sprees. they get to keep half of what they raise. We'd like to have some high-value, headline items to auction. So if you know someone who has a classic car to spare, or a free week in their Hawaii condo, let us know!
