The Malia Paddling and Racing Club is hosting a Calcutta on February 24. Join us for cocktails, great food, fabulous music, and a chance to win $1200 cash (or many other prizes)! Please contact me for your admission ticket (10% are already sold, so don't wait long). $80 gets you one entry into the Calcutta, and a delicious dinner for two from Bluebird BBQ as well.
Where: St. John's Club (9 Central Ave, Burlington)
When: Saturday, Feb 24
5pm: cash bar
6pm: Bluebird Barbecue buffet (V/GF options available)
7pm: Calcutta raffle
We'll have a DJ spinning and a 50/50 draw as well -- it'll be a great place to be on a winter's evening!
Proceeds from the event go to our club's equipment fund to cover things like starter paddles and PFDs, boat purchase and repairs, trailer upgrades and upkeep, and equipment shed maintenance.
Never been to a Calcutta? Participants are assigned numbers 1 through 100. 100 numbered balls are drawn one by one, eliminating people from the raffle. (Small prizes are awarded every few numbers.) When we get down to ten numbers, those left standing decide as a group whether to split the $1200 jackpot or keep drawing. When we get down to the last number, or to a group that wants to split the jackpot, it's awarded!
(Oh, and if you can't physically be there, you can still buy an entry if you like! Unfortunately, we won't be able to ship you your dinner, but we can definitely put you in the running for the jackpot and other prizes!)
