50/50 RAFFLE TICKETS

The North Hills Relay 50/50 tickets sell for $5.00 each, and our team gets $2.50 credit for each one we sell.  Since this is a site wide raffle, not just a team raffle, the pot gets pretty big.  Last year’s total was $1600.00 for ACS & $1600.00 for the winner.   No guarantees, but I would think the take would be at least a  couple hundred dollars.  Currently only a few team members are selling tickets, but we can have as many tickets as we’d like.  So just let Melita know if you are welling to try to sell some.

SARRIS CANDY BAR SALES

Several people have had great success selling the Sarris Candy.  The candy bars seem to be selling better than the pretzels, so we are now going with an assortment of 5 different flavors of candy bars in one box.   Mel’s Maniacs now has an account at Sarris, so we can keep selling them up to the day of Relay.  If you’d like to give it a try, please let me know.  I’ll be glad to bring them to you.  They sell for $1.00 a piece, and there are 32 in each box.

Our Annual Dance was a HUGE Success!

Thanks to Many of You Maniacs...

Our Annual Dance was a HUGE Success!

We sold 240 tickets, and there was a waiting list of 35 more who  didn’t get to attend this years dance.  We have already had people tell us to reserve them a table for next year, and that we should have two dances a year.  So we can be proud of  how our dance has become an event people look forward to each year.  The dance raised $6,700.00, which is $200.00 more than last year. 

To those of you who helped with this year’s dance, I can not thank you enough.   Whether you donated door prizes, or went to businesses and got donations, if you made a gift basket, or gave items to be used in our wine or alcohol baskets, if you helped sell raffle tickets at the dance, or sat at home and tore tickets in strips of 7’s, if you helped setup the night before, or clean up after the dance, if you helped decorate, or lent your expertise to the power point presentation, or did one of numerous other things that needed to be done, whatever you did, big or small, please know that your dedication is appreciated by myself and the rest of the team. 

Another reason we did so well is because Dave Beran gives us an outstanding price on the food, the D.J. only asks $100.00 for his services, the fireman give the hall to us at no cost because there are 4 firemen on our Relay team, and the bartenders (who told us they love to work our  dance), donated their tips ($105.00) back to us.  We have been blessed to have so many good people in our lives who are all willing to help out.

Once again I have to say THANK YOU.

March Madness Bracket

We drew the positions for everyone who entered our competition tonight.  It was a very scientific method used to assign everyone a team - we drew your names out of a bowl and the first name went in the first slot and we filled an empty bracket down one side then the other.  It was completely random.  Good luck to everyone!  Check back as the games start and I will be updating the bracket.

March Madness Fundraiser

We are having a new fundraiser this year for March Madness!!!

Only 64 blocks to be sold @ $10.00 each

One Winner takes home $320.00 

American Cancer Society will receive $320.00

After the NCAA assigns teams to slots, we will put all the names in a hat and beginning with the first slot we will match a name from the hat, with that team.  If your team is the final winner then the $320.00 is yours.

Give us your email address or a mailing address, and we will send you a copy of the entire poll, the team you’ve been assigned, and you can check back here for updates.

So please give us your $10.00, name, phone number, email address or physical address and you will be helping Mel’s Maniac’s Relay for Life Team in their fight against cancer.
