We extend a great big “THANKS” to all of you who bought tickets and to the people who donated prizes. This raffles earned over $600. Our congratulations to the winners and our condolences to the losers. (You don’t see my name on the list. I thought about keeping the Spa Treatment but I figured someone would rat out on me to Debbie )

Another raffle is planned for the fall, perhaps during the Thanksgiving Day weekend. We already have some articles of art promised, so if you have something you would like to donate for this raffle please email me, Nancy Schmidli at stuffie@prodigy.net.mx or stuffienan@yahoo.com

I wish you all to have a great summer!! Nancy Schmidli
