A Note on Raffle Tickets
The GRMCA will once again provide raffle tickets for the weekend. We will have door prize drawings at the end of the business meeting and banquet.
You must stop by the registration desk to claim your door prize tickets. Door prize tickets will be filled out at the registration desk and dropped into a box at that point so members will not have to keep up with them through the weekend. We cannot guarantee your door prize tickets if you cannot make it to registration.
You must be present to win
At the banquet, a two night stay will be given away in addition to many cash prizes.
