There will be one more opportunity to scan tickets on December 3.

Sign up at From Mindy Jensen PMB Vice-President: CHILIRIFIC MUSICPALOOZA. We are looking at putting together a Door County Getaway package as big raffle item. Items that could be included are a hotel stay, dinner certificates, golf packages, tours, certificates for any wineries, etc. If anyone has contacts in the Door County willing to donate such an item or allow us to purchase an item at a reduced rate, please contact Lisa Voelker. Donation letters went out last week. If anyone knows of other businesses we can ask, please let me know. For bargain shoppers, you can start picking up items for the Chilirific Musicpalooza silent auction gift baskets. Baskets are also needed for the silent auction gift baskets. If anyone is interested in helping with the planning process, please contact me. This is a great way to get involved and bring fresh ideas! Within in the next couple years, we will need new leads for this event and getting involved early will help with the transition.
