iii. Discussion regarding life after CTBO has run its course. Things seemed
to be settling to selling 600 $100 tickets for trips running in two draws,
one around Christmas and the other on Canada Day. Tickets would be
sold for an 3 month time period prior to the draw date. The Canada
Day draw would be for trips focusing on Canada destinations while the
other would be more open. Winner would have the option of taking a trip
of a specific value or 75% of that trip’s value.
Total value of trips per draw will be $30 000 with $30000 going to the club.
600 tickets x $100 per ticket = $60 000
