$4,500 Samoa School Raffle was drawn last week
A couple of weeks ago, at our Surfers Sunrise meeting, our Guest Speaker Margaret Smith acted as the 'Lucky Ladybird' and drew the winning ticket (picture, on right). Since this article is public, we are of course not revealing the name of the winner, but your Editor is prepared to reveal that it is a family member of one of our longest serving members His/her initials are NM. Looks like a good family holiday in Fiji is coming up! ☺.The results: in total 223 tickets were sold which raised a respectable $5,575 towards the cost of the School for Samoa. Still short of the target of $12,000 though.

Special thanks go to Neil Thurlow, whose company Accent Print and Copy provided all the printing of the tickets free of charge, and congratulations to Geoff Croad, who came tops in the sales department: he sold 6 books! President Elect Larry Murray also emphasised the enormous work done by Rosie McIntyre (left on picture) who not only organized the prize itself from Bartercard, but also kept track of all the money collected and managed the online sales, and Mario Fairlie, in charge of all relations between our club, RAWCS, authorities and the Samoa Victims Support Group who are our representatives over there.
