*RAFFLE & SILENT AUCTION*
If you'd like to donate prize items or Gift Certificates for our popular *Raffle Benefit* & *Silent Auction*, I'd be happy to give you a free 'advertising plug' in front of an expected 300+ attendees! (Last year we had over $22,000 retail value in donations!) If anyone would like to volunteer to help solicit donations for prizes, I'd greatly appreciate the help. It's never too early to start asking for donations, so please let me know ASAP @ 257-1313 or by email. (Gift Certificates are very popular and get customers in to your business!)
*2013 BENEFICIARY:
100% of the proceeds from the 2013 Raffle & Silent Auction will be donated to Kalispell's 'Samaritan House', a homeless shelter and transitional living program organized in 1988.

The 'Program' & raffle drawings will start about 6:30 & should be over about 8:00 pm. Please plan to stay for it ALL! Please help spread the word... tell all your 'Southern' friends & 'Southern Food Lovers'. I like to say, "You don't HAVE to be 'Southern' to attend, but it helps you to understand the jokes!"
Feel free to forward this e-mail to all you know and to even print off the attached 'Flyer' & post on your neighborhood, church, or work bulletin boards. I hope to see 'All Y'all' there for this year's 'Fun, Food & Fellowship'! Feel free to wear your 'Southern' shirts & caps. 'Y'ALL COME, YA HEAR?!'
