October 2006—Hi and thanks for reading this. I want to extend my sincere thanks to all of the bowlers and IGBO representatives who support these ongoing events. 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 e-mail 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 Mid Year in Detroit concluded in Kansas City. Winners are posted here.

The Summer Mail-In Tournament for Mid Year in Detroit, MI was held in July. Eight leagues participated for a total of 57 participants. Results were mailed out in August and are posted on this page. Payouts are expected to be sent out in September.

Also at this time, the Multi-City Raffle tickets for the Annual tournament in Denver, CO are being sent out. Each league representative was sent 40 tickets in August 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. We hope that this will offer more chances to win and more reasons to buy tickets. 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, November 12, 2006. Please see your league representative for 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 and that part is never predictable. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated and will be given full consideration. Please give me a call at (631) 630 1478 or send e-mail to todd.denmark@mercer.com.
