What:

Fresh Air Experience raffle in support of the Telemark Junior Race and Biathlon Teams

The West Kelowna Canadian Tire has graciously agreed to allow the Telemark racing and biathlon teams to sell raffle tickets in front of their store on Sunday 16th, Saturday 22nd, and Sunday 23rd from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Why you should care:

Every athlete is expected to sell a minimum of one book of 10 raffle tickets before the Apple Loppet draw date.  Your parent committee executive has taken the initiative to organize these 3 dates to give you an opportunity to sell your tickets.

What you need to do:

Just show up!  Bring your tickets.  If you have not yet received your tickets, you will be able to pick them up when you arrive.  Athletes need to be in team colours.  Bring a chair if you want to sit.  Stay as long as you are able.  Note that this is “come and go” so you will not be held to a schedule, but please drop a quick note to Barryto indicate your intentions.

Background:

At the March 2012 parent meeting, the 2012/13 budget was approved requiring fundraising in the amount of $10,000 (about $200 per athlete) in order to fund this year’s race program.  The discussion was very specific in that fundraising was strongly preferred over fee increases or service cuts.  Our sponsor Fresh Air Experience stepped up in September and offered to support our efforts by donating an exceptional Nordic prize package for a raffle.  At the October 2012 parent meeting, it was agreed that we would undertake the raffle project, and that every athlete would be expected to take a minimum of one book of 10 tickets.  This is the best opportunity you will have this year to fulfill your fundraising obligation.  Click here for the flyer with details of the prizes.  Tickets are $5.00 ea.
