On Wednesday while Dee was at work, I picked up the Amish Turkey and eggnog before the store got busy and then went to the Rotary meeting. It was Turkey Raffle day. Everyone brought in wrapped gifts to be raffled off. And there were 5 turkeys as part of the raffle. The tickets cost $20 for 10 tickets. Some people brought several gifts to be raffled off. All proceeds went to the Lighthouse Agency. Some of the wrapped gifts were gag gifts and others were nice - like bottles of wine, boxes of candy, etc. I won a large box of mixed nuts with a nice bow.
What amazed me about the whole thing is that the prizes cost most people next to nothing, and then we all chipped in $20 to play the raffle game. Some people bought more tickets because it was for charity. Anyway, when all was said and done, we raised about $1,200 for the Lighthouse. And had fun doing it. Amazing!
Later I took Bonz to have his claws trimmed and ground just to be sure he didn't accidentally scratch anyone tomorrow. The I hung the garland on the staircase and went to get a wireless remote switch set that can turn lights off and on without having to go and unplug them. It does up to three outlets. During the evening Dee tweaked the garlands and lights and we discussed where we might put the tree. But that's for another day.
