He was caught unawares since Donna had not told him she was buying a ticket for him, but he was very happy and I cannot think of a better person to win the prize. As shown in the attached photo I gave the certificates to Donna on Christmas eve, and now she and her family have a substantial number of good dining experiences to look forward to. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The raffle was successful due to the efforts of most of our club members, who went out and sold tickets and/or bought gift certificates. Ray Alarcon was our focal point, who got the tickets out to each of us, kept track of progress, checked and bundled up the tickets and funds received, and sold an outstanding number of tickets himself. Please join me in extending our heartfelt thanks to Ray for the support he provided. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I will be turning the checks and cash received to Harold on the weekend, but it looks to me for now that we have made our financial target of $8600 and possibly more. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We are going to write each person who bought a ticket, thanking them for their contribution to our club, but please do let each ticket purchaser know the outcome of the drawing, and thank them personally.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We accomplished a lot last year, and the funds received will let us continue to serve the community in our town, in our region and abroad. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. </div><div><br></div><div class="ydp5023bad2signature">Jeff Stubbs, President</div><div class="ydp5023bad2signature" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mendocino Rotary<br>P.O.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated! We held the drawing in Mendocino’s Rotary Park yesterday:</div><br><br><br> - The Winnah - Monterey Thomas! <br><br>We are sorry that you didn’t win this time. We hope you do next time - then you can take me to dinner! 😜 <br><br>You can be happy your $ went to good causes - Merry Christmas! <br><br>All the best,<br>Toby<br><br><br></div>
