And the WINNER is....

Thank you to all of you who turned out to watch our winner be drawn for the 2011 raffle!  I am so appreciative of all of your support. ;)

A huge congratulations goes out to ROBIN DAVIS!  She is the grand prize winner!  Debi Ganem was given your 5 crisp $100.00 bills to deliver to you!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations also extended to our runner up prize winners:

$25.00 Cheesecake Factory gift card:  Kory Druecker
$20.00 Taco Bell gift card:  Shannon Painter
$15.00 Applebee's gift card:  Tonya Risser
$10.00 AMC gift card:  Monica Michels
Gold Canyon Christmas scented candle: Nathan Wickham
Deluxe bath spa set:  Jan Wiley

A few names that were drawn for runner up prizes that would have won, if they had been present are:

Autumn Davenport (twice!)
Jasmine Freeman
Jean Spanko
Jennifer Mundy
Lisa Simmons

I still assert that if any of you all have the opportunity, you should:

A)  Have Autumn Davenport buy your tickets for you (She and her daughters are some of the "luckiest" people I know!)
B)  Buy your tickets through someone other than ME!

My son pointed out that although I sold 85% of the raffle tickets, Debi Ganem sold the winning ticket!  He tells me that next year he is buying a ticket from anyone but me! ;)

Thanks to all of you who participated through buying tickets, who showed up for the raffle, and who have otherwise supported us as we adopt this family this year!

We have raised $1100.00 for the family with the raffle ticket sales, and our Gold Canyon Candle fundraiser!  I am so blessed to be a part of a community of givers!  God bless you all!

Sincerely,

Becky Spanko, Debi Ganem, and the whole bunco bunch!
