Floyd's Fund winner's pot
There is now $623.00 in the Winner's Pot (and the equivalent amount has already been deposited into the club's Scholarship Fund) as we go into ticket sales for this week's raffle. Remember: “The Queen of Hearts is what we are all looking for and the lady continues to elude the draw. “ There are 34 cards remaining in the deck which makes for better odds of drawing the Queen of Hearts. Be sure to purchase a handful of tickets at this week's meeting. After all, this is the first meeting we've had of our club-as-a-whole since February. Let's all do our part to make the winner's pot (and the Scholarship Fund) grow by leaps and bounds!
