The tickets: $10 each for a chance to win $1,000.00. A maximum of 500 tickets will be sold (although, I have yet to see the tickets sell out). The drawing will be on April 8th and yours truly will call the winner and post the ticket number on this thread. I have PayPal and Venmo. You can send a check to: Attn: Commander (Grand Poobah), American Legion Post #14, 4607 NE St. James Rd, Vancouver, WA, 98663. Or if you live locally, I'll bring the tickets myself or meet you at the Post. When I receive payment, if not in person, I'll text you back a picture of the tickets.
We do this every season of the year to help pay the ever-increasing taxes and costs of serving our veterans at the Post. Vancouver City just added their own B&O tax in addition to raising the sales tax by 2/10s of a cent. We pay for licenses, permits, electricity, insurance, and/or payroll taxes for our one employee, Julie. She's the greatest manager on the planet and has worked at the post for 34 years on a very meagre salary.
On the last drawing, of the 400 tickets sold, HuntWA accounted for an astounding 140, more than 1/3 of all tickets sold. This will give you an idea of how much you guys and gals are helping our vets - an awful lot!
If you're able to get some tickets, we all appreciate it. Message me and I'll get you going. Thanks so much!
