Congrats to Carter Cox, who won our sailboat raffle last evening. Raffles like this help our club with operating funds for replacement tables and canopies along with printed materials. Donated boats are also sometimes raffled off, depending on the owners wishes, to help with operating funds as well. Have a boat you'd like to consider donating? Please email us at [email protected]. We are currently not set up as a non-profit so donations are not tax deductable. Congrats again Carter, we sure hope you enjoy the sailboat.
