At last Saturday's Mid-Winter Assembly at the Owyhee Plaza Hotel in Boise, Jerry Timm made a surprise appearance to hand out packages of District Conference Raffle tickets for each club. We hope your calendar is already marked for May 17-18 in Sun Valley for D.C.

Each club is responsible to sell as many raffle tickets as possible (we have more if you need them!) The raffle was Jerry's idea way back in 2004 when he was District Governor. Since then the program has raised more than $350,000! The proceeds are divided up as follows:  25% goes back to the club who had representatives at District Conference to help members with their expenses; 25% goes to District youth programs like youth Exchange and RYLA; 50% goes to matching grants for district members who embark on their Paul Harris Foundation goal.

This year's raffle prizes are the usual $4500 AAA Travel package (whoever sells the tickets get one too!), a 55" flat screen TV, and 5 ipads of various specs. This is an importnat fund rasier for the District!!
