November 4th, 2013 Meeting - Rotaract Club Raffle Begins!

The Slippery Rock Rotaract club is pleased to announce that the Rotaract Club Raffle has begun! Following the 2 week delay, our members kicked it into high gear and solidified details and acquired prizes. I believe all members can agree that we thought this raffle would be easy to assemble. This was certainly not the case! Due to this being a new endeavor, businesses were less willing to donate than we had anticipated. We were still able to snag some donations, but the club also had to use some money from dues to purchase gift cards from different businesses. But in the end, we did what we had to do! We amassed enough prizes that we'll be able to select three winners. The prizes are as follows:

1st place
$30 gift card to North Country Brewing Co.
$25 gift card to Ginger Hill Tavern
$20 gift card to Sheetz
$10 cash prize

2nd place
Rachel's Roadhouse gift basket
gift card to Chili's
$10 cash prize

3rd place
coupons for freebies from Subway
coupon for a free haircut in downtown Slippery Rock
$10 cash prize


We're extremely proud of the prizes we've gathered! At the November 4th meeting we had 15 members there. Each member received a packet of 10 raffle tickets that they must sell with tickets being $5 apiece. We've agreed as a group that either everyone sells all 10 of their tickets, or they must make up the difference out of pocket. These prizes are so great that we don't anticipate selling to be an issue! On top of selling our own booklets of 10, we will be selling extra tickets in the quad during common hour times. We're hoping for this raffle to be very rewarding, but as anything in life, we will just have to wait and see!

To members that missed Monday's meeting, please email Jenn about getting your own packet of tickets to sell! To anyone not in our club, email Jenn to buy raffle tickets! Her email address is jln5962@sru.edu.

Have a great day, everyone!
