International Committee Quiz
Verdi
At our International Committee Quiz night last year, two silent auction vouchers were donated. One was a return flight to the Chatham Islands valued at $1,540 and the other was a Helicopter Trial Flight instructed by Richie McCaw valued at about $300.
Both items were under bid and in an effort to raise the bidding, both Keith and Heather Mitchell, who incidentally, had sourced the vouchers, kindly placed bids which were not out bid. Therefore, they were obliged to pay the amount bid.
Therefore, in order to reimburse the Mitchell's and to also obtain a reasonable amount for the vouchers, it was decided to raffle them for $10 per ticket but limit the number of tickets to just 250 tickets.
I have prepared books of 5 tickets and am happy for people to offer a book for $40 (same as we do in the trailer raffle). This increases the odds of winning from 1 in 200 to 1 in 40 !!
Verdi has attached the following documents to an email that will be forwarded to recipient s of the Club Chat shortly:
1. Air Chatham’s Voucher
2. Helicopter Flight voucher
3. Sample of the ticket.
The funds raised will be used to pay for the orphanage in Tanzania.
There is no time limit on when the raffle is drawn but would like to do so within 3-4 weeks or once all or sufficient tickets have been sold.
