You can probably guess, by the above information that the Grafton
Youth Hockey Organization needs money. YUP, they do. That's the group my
Grandson Dilan, my Nephew Justin and a whole bunch of other "area" kids
are involve with.
When Dilan first asked me if I would help out by buying a ticket,
I said "I certainly would!". When he said the tickets were $100 dollars
a piece, I gulped, and said "Holy Smokers, I didn't want to buy the
whole arena, just a ticket." As he looked at me, with his slightly
forlorned appearance, and, I had a chance to give his question a bit
more thought. I realized, if "our" youth hockey program was ever going
to get a real "shot in the arm" it would take a real effort to do so.
Then I thought of the millions of folks that spend millions of
dollars for a 1 in a 160 million chance to win the lottery. As compared
to the 1 in 15 chance to win something in the Grafton Youth Hockey Mega
Raffle I decided I would share the idea of the program with the members
of the Gazette Family.
If, by chance (pardon the pun) there are folks out there willing
to participate in the Grafton area Youth Hockey program. Please contact
one of the Grafton Youth Hockey Parents and give them a check for $100
(payable to the Grafton Youth Hockey Program) If that's not convenient
for you, you can mail your check to a hockey parent. I too, would be
happy to make certain your check gets to the hockey program, and send
your ticket to you by return mail. If sent to me addressed to Gary Moe
764 Birch Court, Grafton, ND 58237.
Think about it,... a 1 in 15 chance to win. If you need help
learning to ride the Harley. I would be happy to show you how,.......to
start it. Please give this program your serious consideration. Gary.
P.S.
That's less than 4 cases of bottled water.

You might have been able to tell, by the babble to this point,
that it's been another really slow news day in Shivercity.
==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or
so it seems to me.


Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
