As is a common situation, fund-raising efforts almost always need assistance; such is the case with 50/50 tickets being one of the Chedabucto rink’s revenue efforts.

The hope is that, with all the contacts each Junior (parents) has via relatives, co-workers, friends, neighbours, etc., the voluntary sales of tickets by the Juniors will increase the dollar amounts of each 50/50 draw so as to attract more buyers to the curling rink’s 50/50 tickets.

Starting this Wednesday (Jan. 21) — with the exception of our two international guests (Emilly and Ayumi) — each Junior curler will be assigned two books as his/her task to hopefully sell.  On the next Wednesday (Jan. 28) I will collect whatever tickets that have been sold and also the $2.00 per-sold ticket.  When the two books are sold we will issue two more books and so on until the end of this curling season.

The curling rink’s next 50/50 draw is planned for February 7th.

Thank you for your hoped-for assistance.

Congratulations to Diane Tulk, Guysborough , for being the January 17 winner of the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS) 50/50 draw.  Diane ( a social member of CAS) bought her winning ticket — worth $210.00 — at the curling rink.  (Thank you to all who bought 50/50 tickets — and to those involved in their selling.)

If you wish to purchase or to sell tickets: contact a club member, come to the curling rink, or buy tickets at Cutting Loose Hair Design & Tanning, Guysborough Pharmacy, Cook’s Gas Bar & Robin’s, Hart’s Grocery Store,  Chedabucto Home Hardware, Guysborough Discount & Gifts or in February at Days Gone By Bakery & Restaurant (closed until February 8). CAS sincerely thanks the before-mentioned businesses for their continued support. (The businesses’ sold-tickets are collected on Saturdays.)

With the intention to have richer prizes, CAS will  be drawing the winning 50/50 ticket on Saturdays but will occasionally be doing the selection after several weeks of selling.
