ATV Raffle:
The
ATV Raffle made its swan song at the Sandwich
Fair. Selling tickets this weekend were Kathy
Calvin, Brian Winslow, Denise Dow, Lori Dickson,
Joe Collie, and Paul Cotton. The fair brought
in a total of approx. $2,200 and the raffle itself
made the club approx $3,500. The winner of the
ATV’s is Stephanie Desrochers of Merrimack,
NH. She bought the ticket at the Lancaster Fair
from a woman, but she does not know which woman.
Could be Sue Nelson, Kathy Calvin, Paulette Loughlin,
Denise Dow, or Lori Dickson. We’ll see… Thanks
to everyone who sold tickets over the course
of the summer and to those who played a part
in the ATV raffle from storage to breakdown and
setup…a team effort. Well done!

BOARD meeting
minutes...
Hillary Hartford from Child and Family Services came and spoke about the Incentives Bank. The Incentives Bank is a side project that Hillary is involved in that helps certain non-profits in the area. They get incentives for reaching certain plateaus and milestones in their own programs. The non-profit organizations that are eligible to receive the incentives have to be focused on child or family programs. Some examples are: Head Start requests Wal*Mart gift cards for one of their students after moving. Vista Foods gift cards have been given to homeless people to help them with food. Another example is an individual finished their GED and needed appropriate clothing for job interviews. 18 organizations have been made eligible to participate in the Incentive Bank and they are being encouraged to remind the individuals in their programs to complete goals in exchange for these incentives.
