I don’t care for the idea of giving 50% to the Scholarship fund. We already have money in our Scholarship Fund that we don't know how to use. It should go to towards the people in our unit. Maybe use it toward the Membership Party or the next Christmas Party. Just my opinion.

Value $80-$100. Mike will donate. d. 3rd to last ticket - 5 Free Play card e. all other tix - 1 wine or 1 free play f. we can switch b & c depending on how many tickets are sold. 2.

I would suggest 2 free plays per ticket and 8-10 raffle tickets. The dollar amount we allocate for this raffle will determine the number we will purchase. Has it been decided that we give free play and wine or just one or the other? I am happy to handle this once I know the amount we want to spend.

We should pay PBC for the director and space rental that day and also for his snacks which people will inevitably go for. Is there anything we have forgotten here?? Our next Board meeting will be January 3rd after the Unit game that day at the club to discuss our Election party and Board outgoing and incoming possibilities.
