Morris McGee Raffle

This year, we are doing something different at the AGM to raise funds for the McGee Fund. Instead of the Sunday breakfast, we are holding a raffle instead. The reason for this is because Sunday’s breakfast, traditionally reserved for American Society fundraising, is covered by the cost of your hotel room.

McGee raffle tickets can be bought at the time of your registration at the AGM and until the raffle closes on Saturday. The McGee raffle draw is slated to be held after the banquet dinner on Saturday, so be sure to leave room in your suitcase for your goodies.

If you would like to make a donation to the McGee raffle, please let myself and Nita of the American Society know. If you can send a description and photograph of the items, I will post it to our blog. We hope to have a formal list of raffle items by the end of June. Please bring the items with you to the AGM.

If you would like to take part in the McGee raffle, but are unable to attend, please let us know and we will send you a list of raffle prizes closer to the AGM. If people want to participate in the raffle and are unable to attend they should make arrangements with a friend who is attending the AGM to bring home any prizes for them. Unfortunately, sending prizes by mail is very expensive.

The cost of raffle tickets will be $2 for one, $5 for three, $10 for seven.

To get the ball rolling, I have donated a cross-stitch stained glass bookmark to the raffle (see below). 

Good luck!

This medieval-themed bookmark will look
wonderful in your favourite edition of
Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time.
