Every year we hold a Raffle on Saturday — we wait until dessert has been served, then start pulling tickets out of bags until all the donated items have been won. Click this link to see how the Raffle works, what sort of cool items we’ve had donated in the past, pictures from previous years, etc.

You are invited to send in photos/descriptions of any item you wish to donate, and I’ll post ’em on this page. The prize for first such item this year goes to Marnie Knapp — She’s donating her own mosaic art, made out of ceramic and glass. Pretty cool, huh?

Steve and Allison Scarborough have again donated the use of their lovely house in Yachats for a lucky winner. 4 nights at a beautiful house looking out over the Pacific!
