The Knights of Columbus 2006 Past State Deputies'
Memorial Scholarship raffle tickets were handed out to all
Grand Knights at the December State Council meeting. If you
need more, please contact Chairman Don Wonchoba @
(302) 798-7788.
These raffle tickets sell for $10 each and provide the
purchaser with 4 opportunities to win $10 to $25 each week
for nine weeks beginning April 7, 2006, culminating with 5
chances to win $50 to $250 at the final drawing on June 9.
All winning tickets are returned to the pot, giving purchases
multiple chances to win. That's 41 chances to win for $10!
And all profit benefits Catholic education by providing $500
scholarships to children in Delaware Catholic elementary
schools.
Many times, these scholarships are all it takes to keep a
family from having to remove their children from Catholic
schools because of budgetary constraints. No wonder this
fundraiser is Bishop Saltarelli's favorite K of C project. As the
Bishop says, "Wouldn't it be great if every Delaware Knight
bought one ticket and sold one ticket."
So many of our future Catholic leaders will benefit so much
from this project. Get your tickets now and start selling.
