Good Morning, everyone!! First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who participated in our IPOGC Summer Raffle. Without your kind donations year after year, we wouldn't be able to give out our Barbra Burns Memorial Scholarships which mean so much to us all.

IOPGC would also like to give a VERY special shout out to Lynell Earhart Bennett & People's Premium Finance for their unbelievable donation of all the RTIC goods (cooler and cups), the Astros Gear (my gosh it was such amazing swag!!!) and the bento box.

And, last, but not least, I would like to thank ALL of our IPOGC members for the donations of scratch offs, alcohol, and all the amazing donations from the tickets!!! I am so grateful to each and every one of you
