Just so everyone is aware...

I have been getting several emails from Sheridan College employees telling me that the Employee Appreciation party is in Gillette on the same day as the fundraiser. I am aware of this, but we could not get the whole dome for any other day but May 3rd. We will be making several accommodations for those who would like to go to Gillette.

First, the raffle is need be present to win, except for those going to Gillette. We will have little star stickers that those going to Gillette can place on their tickets. If we pull one of those tickets, we will write down the number and the prize and send out a global email to Sheridan College employees on Monday with the numbers and where they can go to pick up their prize. So, come buy some tickets before you leave, and be sure and hold onto them.

Second, we will not close the silent auction until midnight. It will be open from noon until midnight so that those who went to Gillette have ample time to get back and check their bids. We're getting quite a bit of fine art and pottery by local artists along with voice lessons from Gene Sager and the possibility of bidding on the chance to have Dr. Drumm and his wife come to your house and cook you dinner. I'd bid on that, especially if they'll do the dishes.

Third, if anyone who went to Gillette wants to go to the dance after the tournament, they can come in at the student charge of five dollars. We want everyone to be able to participate in some way. I don't want to leave anyone out of this event.

That's all for now, thanks for reading and thanks to everyone for their generous donations.
