A message fromthe specialty chairperson,Sue Sommer, regarding our June Show:

I think the raffle mania is building nicely. . . some brilliant ideas coming together. I love the "rehome" table idea. For those who missed it, the idea is to raffle rehomed stuff--we all have perfectly good items that are someone else's treasure.

Thanks to the folks who are helping me figure this job out. I plan to circulate the dreaded signup sheet at the February meeting, and thanks in advance to the hard working volunteers. With double obedience/rally and a magnificent raffle, we have great potential for a wonderful event.
