*****Our Club's 2nd Annual HoopsMania fundraiser from 1/26/17–3/16/17 The goal has been set for each member to sell at least 10 tickets at $20 each for which you will get your allotment this Thursday. When selling, make sure that the buyer completes on the stub portion of the ticket and returns it to Cruz with the money. She will be at our weekly meetings to collect the stubs and money as tickets are being sold with extras in case anyone wants to sell more. If you could let Cruz know by Tuesday how many you want she'll get them to you at the following Thursday's meeting. Every ticket sold means more $ for “doing good for the world!!” Cruz: albano.cruz@comcast.net The following information describes how each ticket holder can win:
Each game card is randomly assigned 8 teams (2 from each region) that will play in college
basketball’s national championship tournament. The teams are represented by their seed numbers
and regions in the tournament. To play the game, participants simply add up all the points scored by
their 8 teams throughout the tourney. The top 45 and bottom 4 scoring game cards all win prizes!
