“The GPM will be in Salado, TX this year. They are having a Raffle where the 1st prize will be $1000 cash and the 2nd prize will be a handmade quilt. The tickets will be $5 each or 5 for $20.

Several of the PODS have decided to buy $100 worth of tickets in hopes that the pod will win the cash. The DAM POD and the SOT pod are 2 that have purchased tickets. I am hoping that other pods will take up the challenge and buy a block of tickets to show support the GPM 2010. In addition the DAM pod is also selling the raffle tickets at chili cook offs during the year to help the GPM and their quest for funds to make the GPM a great one. Please consider getting extra tickets and selling them at you CCO’s. You can get your tickets by emailing Diana Stimson (Winksintexas@aol.com). She will in turn either reserve a block of tickets for the pod and will give them to the GP delegate at the GPM before the drawing or will send you some tickets. You can mail your check to Diana Stimson at 330 S. Ave B, Crawford, TX 76638. I hope the other pods will take the challenge and purchase some tickets. Tickets will also be on sale at the GPM.

In addition the Black And Gold pod donated $500 to the GPM. Please consider this message as a way to support your CASI GPM.

Make checks out to GPM2010. Donna Conrad is running the GPM this year and she has a checking account set up named GPM2010.

Please pass this on to others. They do not have to be there to win.” Dave Hewlett
