Golf Outing Raffle Ticket Request
Just a few days ago your son/daughter was given four raffle tickets to sell for our 3rd annual golf outing being held on June 9th at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park. These raffles tickets are a very important part of this year’s fund raising activities due to other fund raising events not returning what we usually receive. That reduced amount of fund raising has left our general fund much lower than normal and has made this year’s outing even more important than ever before. That is because we rely on the general fund to pay for a large portion of the costs of the music activities that your child is involved in. By doing so the general fund reduces your contribution towards these activities. If the general fund is not increased there are only two option, reduce the amount of activities that are offered or increase the family contribution towards these activities and neither of these two options is desirable. So to help make up some of the difference that the general fund is down we have decided to have this raffle. The prize will be two round of 18 holes of golf including lunch and the dinner banquet which is a prize of $200.00. The raffle tickets will be sold for five dollars each and one winner will be pulled for every 100 tickets sold.
Here is where we need your assistance, we need you and or your son/daughter to sell the four tickets for five dollars each. Again, the sale of these raffle tickets as I mentioned earlier in this letter is very important due to the shortage in funds. If everyone sells their four tickets along with having another successful outing we can make up the shortage. If not it might affect the things that we would like to do next year.
After your son/daughter sells their four tickets, which we need you to do by May 3rd, place the stubs and money in the yellow box in the band room with the students name written on the envelope.
Thank You,
Mario Nicasio
Golf Outing Chairman
