Annual Raffle 2019

Drawing April 29, 2019

For many years GLPA has been running a raffle to help defray the costs associated with operating our active association.

In 2019, we will be raffling off three great prizes: A Thinkpad Laptop, a laprobe sized quilt made by our own Merle Gordon, MNEC, and a $100 American Express gift card. The Thinkpad L380 Yoga laptop, is manufactured by Lenovo. For the technically savvy folks in our club, this laptop has a 13 in. anti-reflection screen, 8 gb of memory and a 128 gb solid state drive. It comes with a built-in micro SD chip reader. For this reason, I am including a separate card reader that plugs into a USB port that will read the Compact Flash and SD cards. It weighs 3.3 lbs. This model was recommended by Consumer Reports and can be used to process both photos and documents, as well as surf the web. This is a great laptop for everyone.

The quilt, entitled “Call of the Wild,” can be used as a throw or to keep your lap warm. It can be used as a throw or on a bed. The main panel of the quilt features wolves, perfect for any nature loving person. It will be quilted by our own Merle Gordon, MNEC, Quilter Extraordinaire. The panel is displayed below. The finished quilt will contain borders.

The American Express Gift Card is worth $100 and is accepted anywhere the American Express credit card is accepted.

A single ticket is $1. A book of six tickets is $5. Tickets will be available in the near future. All members will receive one book of tickets, and you can request more when you see how easy it is to sell to your neighbors, co-workers and friends. If you send a check, please make it out to GLPA. Please send in the ticket half that has the name of the person buying the ticket. If you need more tickets, please send email to raffle@greaterlynnphoto.org. One small note - per the IRS, raffle tickets are not tax deductible.

Look for tickets and letters to be available in the early February time frame. The drawing will be held at the club on Monday, April 29, 2019. Remember, this helps support club operations.
