January 2006—
I want to extend my sincere thanks to all of
the bowlers and IGBO representatives who
support these ongoing events. All information
on the Fundraising events is mailed (and
emailed) to the league representatives that
should be passing along to their respective
leagues. In addition, I post it on the IGBO email
group. If you are a league representative
and not receiving information from me, please
get in touch with me and I can check into it.
The Multi City Raffle for Annual in Kansas
City concluded in Calgary. Winners are posted
below. [Editor's note: To ensure member privacy, refer to January 2006 IGBO Newsletter for Winner List.]
Top 3 winners also received a certificate for a
Storm bowling ball and a free entry for annual
in Kansas City. Ken Jones of Oklahoma City
sold the most tickets (920) and received a free
entry and 4 nights stay at the host hotel.
The next event from the Committee is the
Mail In Tournament for Annual in Kansas City,
MO. Entry forms will be sent to league IGBO
representatives in December. The tournament
will take place during 2 consecutive weeks from
January 22, 2006 – February 11, 2006. This is
to be determined by your league representative
and league officers before the beginning
of this period, whatever accommodates your
league the best. If your league has any problem
with this schedule, please feel free to contact
me to discuss.
And right after is the Multi-City Raffle for
the Mid Year tournament in Detroit MI. Each
league representative will be sent 40 tickets in
February to sell on their respective leagues.
There will be 10 winners from the event. First
prize is $500, 2nd prize is $200 and 3rd prize
is $100. In addition, the top 3 winners also
receive a Storm Bowling Ball and a free entry
to the IGBO Tournament. There will also be
cash prizes to the 4th through 10th winners.
All tickets are a donation of $1.00. This means
if you are in the US, it is $1.00 (US), if you are
in Canada, it is $1.00 (Canadian), etc. The
payout will also be adjusted for this: if a Canadian
wins, the cash prize they will receive will
be in Canadian dollars. Winning tickets will be
drawn on Sunday, May 28, 2006 in Kansas
City. Please see your league representative for
tickets. And as an incentive, the Detroit Committee
has donated a free-entry to the representative
that sells the most tickets. If you
need additional tickets to sell, please contact
me.
I do appreciate all the support throughout
IGBO. Unlike the other IGBO committees,
this on relies on many people to function. Your
suggestions are greatly appreciated and will be
given full consideration. Please give me a call
at (631) 630 1478 (home) or send e-mail to
todd.denmark@mercer.com.
