Door Prize for February Meeting

[Marian Blake]

Well,
I'm not sure it is worth the time and effort if we
price tickets that cheap.  If we have 40 people at the
meeting and EVERYONE buys a 50c ticket, then we've
only raised $20.  If EVERYONE buys a $2 ticket, we've
raised $80, which could buy a student a book or 2.  
I don't think a $2 gamble to win a $40 book is all
that bad . . .
Anyone else?  This is to raise $$ for Scholarships.
