Rotary begins raffle sales

For the fourth year in a row, the Bullard Rotary Club will raffle off prizes culminating with a John Deere Gator all-terrain vehicle to raise funds for its community events.

Prizes this year include the ATV, an iPad 2, a Dell Laptop computer, and a Blackberry Torch cell phone. All proceeds from raffle sales will go directly toward funding the Bullard Elementary Playground Project, scholarships for the Bullard Boy Scout Troop #366, a Thanksgiving dinner for Bullard families in need and the Rotary International End Polio Project. Last year, raffle ticket proceeds were used to plant trees to participate in the Tree City USA project, to provide more than 60 Thanksgiving dinners to area families in need, scholarships for Troop #366, and the Rotary International End Polio Project.

Tickets cost $10, and the drawing will be held Nov. 12 at approximately 6:00 p.m. during the Red, White, and Blue Festival in downtown Bullard. To purchase tickets, please contact Rachel Shoemaker by phone or email at 903- 570-1036 or rshoemaker@nctv.com.
