As president of the International I plan on sending out periodic info to all club secretaries and club members who might not always see their secretaries. We all want to see the International Great again and together with your help we can do it. Just a little support here and there will do it. Your suggestions and opinions will always be taken into consideration, 24x7.
That being said, let me begin by saying my goal for next year is $6000. plus! $2000 plus for the champion trial, the derby trial and the futurity trial.
Money has to be raised, and the procedure has been started. A $5.00 raffle ticket winner based on Pennsylvania Lottery. One to go off the Saturday evening of the National and one the evening of the International Male Futurities. Choice of $500. Cash or a Ruger American General II Rifle, PLUS $10.000. if the winning number hits in reverse 7 days later. Only 500 tickets sold.
Plans are being made for our raffle table to start now! We are one of the last federations, with people attending down, items brought in are also down. So we have to do something different. Instead of leaving donated items lying around your home all winter, take them to Coraopolis now or any time you go to Corry.
The club has been kind enough to have one table reserved NOW for that purpose. It will be marked appropriately. Also, a lot of people would like to support the auction, but can't get there, so we are sending out self-addressed envelopes and requesting a $25.00 donation to make up for a very limited number of donated articles. Thank you so much for your support of this idea.
We are in serious need of new clubs, so our recruitment is beginning. Within the rules. If you are a member of a member club, you will share in the $6000. prize money and the entry fee. If you are not a member of a member club, you will not share in the entry fee, just the $6000.
A special meeting will be held prior to the regular meeting to discuss the constitution and any changes that might be needed.
This letter is not final until confirmation is received from Doc Rudman.
Thank You. I promise future letters will be shorter. Ken Dworek
