At the end of the day, we will be drawing for raffles. The monies raised will support the Northeast Region's Scholarship Fund. Our goal is to raise enough money to fully-fund a member to the National Training Program in New Orleans, LA, in July 2010. Every contribution helps. Even if you can't come to the RTP, ask the Committee members to purchase a raffle ticket in advance. Tickets will be sold 1-for-$1.00 or 6-for-$5.00.
