With that in mind, I want to encourage everyone to be present for our upcoming club meeting. We will be talking about the food plan for our Christmas Party and asking club members to give us an idea of what they can bring. December will be our big yearly raffle and our silver half dollar giveaway. So, be looking at what you can bring for our raffle. Again, we will also be raffling off a $500 Visa Gift Card. We need all of our members to sell at least 10 books. This year the book will contain five tickets and the cost is one dollar per ticket or five dollar for the book. We are a month late in getting out the tickets and that is one reason why it is important that each member be present. We just had our night hunt at the Coffey s Blueberry Farm and had a good turnout. We had thirteen hunters in the Mystery Maze hunt and twenty one hunters in the Night Hunt. We gave away 212 dimes in the Mystery Maze hunt and 380 dimes in the Night hunt for a total value of $988.00. We had three prize tokens that were not found and those prizes will be given away during our monthly meeting. See you Friday night. Larry
