Chapter 374 State VVA RAFFLE - 1/2 Processed Elk

Chapter 374 is attemptlng to raise money for the state VVA. Dan S. applied for an Elk from the cull of the Sully's Hill game preserve, he got it. Chapter 374 paid for the processing and for the animal. Now we are trying to sell chances to win 1/2 of the processed elk. We have two boards, Larry Dakken has one in Mayville, Joe Lukes has one in Lisbon. Chances are $10 per square. We are trying to sell them before the Chapter 374 Christmas party on January 21, 2011.

Thanks,

Larry Dakken
