2010 Fund Raiser
Generator Raffle
The winning
tickets for the generator raffle were drawn at the July 15, 2010, SHARC
meeting.
ML Kallaway, KB5SBQ, was kind enough to draw the winning tickets, which
were as
follows:
First Prize: UST 2000-watt generator: Becky Snook
of
Belvidere, NJ (younger daughter of Dave and Judy Haney, W3SJ and
KB3AAM).
Second Prize: $50: Rosemarie Class of Spring
Hill
Third Prize: $25: Stu Raymond of New Port Richey
After
the raffle was over, Dave Haney felt bad that no SHARC members had won
anything,
so he donated $100 for a special after-raffle prize to be awarded only
to a
SHARC member. Mike Wagner, WB1DJC, won this prize.
In all, 160 of
the 200
available tickets were sold, which will help replenish the SHARC
treasury for a
while. 87 tickets were purchased by SHARC members for themselves or
others in
their immediate households while 73 tickets were purchased by others.
Since all
three winning tickets in the official raffle drawing were from among the
73
“others,” I guess 73 really is a lucky number --- just not for hams in
this
particular instance !
