​We will be holding a raffle fundraiser and a donation drive at the October retreat! Please know that participating is completely optional. If you are interested, here are the details:

Raffle Fundraiser: Buy however many tickets you would like and drop them in the bag next to items you wish to win. The raffle drawing will happen on Saturday night!

All money collected from the raffle fundraiser will be donated to All Hands and Hearts, a volunteer driven disaster relief organization. Specifically, our donation will go towards relief from hurricane Helene in the Southeast US.

Please bring cash or check to pay for any tickets you wish to purchase. We will come around the ballroom selling tickets on Saturday at 4pm. Also, from 7-8pm on Saturday we will be at the registration table selling tickets, and collecting donations for the donation drive as well. Drawings will happen during the 8:30pm announcements on Saturday evening!

Since several people have asked: If you wish to donate a raffle item to the raffle fundraiser, please just let me know that you will be bringing something and bring it with you to the retreat. All raffle items need to be brand new, not used. Baskets of items are welcome as well. If you are a consultant, feel free to include a catalog and/or business card along with your raffle item.

Donation drive: On Saturday from 7-8pm, we will be collecting donations at the registration table. At this retreat we are collecting deodorant and/or baby wipes. Bring in a brand new item for the donation drive and receive a raffle ticket for the raffle fundraiser! I will hand deliver all donations received to Mothers In Need of Others.

Mothers In Need of Others ministry (in Rochester) currently assists over 145 social service agencies and churches by providing emergency items (baby items, personal and feminine hygiene products, and cleaning supplies) to case managers and church outreach workers for families in crisis.
