We’re starting to gather prizes for our raffle that will occur right before spring break. Raffle items include gift certificates or services to local businesses, or anything else that you can think of!
To ask a business, you’ll need to take a raffle letter, which includes our tax id number. Raffle Letters are available to download on any on-campus computer at: \\orca\scratch\ACS or from Isha’s cubby in the CAL. There is also a list circulating where you can sign up to ask businesses.
Everyone going on the ACS trip is responsible for 100 raffle tickets, which are sold for $1 apiece. But we need to gather donations first!
People brought up ideas to document the ACS Trip to present at a larger Chemistry Club Event that could be held off campus during spring quarter to celebrate our trip and thank local businesses for their support.
