“GPASI Holiday Raffle”

We will be having a fish only raffle at the Holiday party this year. Members can donate one or two bags of good fish if they want to. (Donations should be higher value fish that people will want to buy tickets for – at least a $10 auction value). If you donate a bag of fish you will receive 5 tickets for free. Each donated bag of fish will be assigned a number and have an empty cup placed next to it. People buy tickets and place them into the cup(s) by the fish that they want. A ticket will be drawn from each cup to see who gets the fish associated with it. Also please email Amanda Westerlund at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with any fish you are donating so she can keep track of what everyone is bringing so we do not have duplicates. Thanks.
