Hi there!
Please consider joining me and Malia Paddling and Racing Club for cocktails, great food, fabulous music, and a chance to win $1200 cash (or many other prizes)!
St. John's Club (9 Central Ave, Burlington)
Saturday, Feb 24
5pm: cash bar
6pm: Bluebird Barbecue buffet (Vegetarian/Gluten-Free 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!
Admission of $80 gets you one entry into the Calcutta, and we'll include that delicious dinner for two as well.
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!
There are a few other fun twists as well, but those are the basics. It's big fun, and we'd love it if you could join us.
Your payment will secure your Calcutta number, so if you're interested, let me know and I'll arrange to get your cash or check payment and work out a few details with you. The sooner the better -- we've already sold 10% of available spaces on the first day!
(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!)
