Van Raffle Senior Center Benefit

Please get your van raffle ticket at the Senior Center in these last days before the drawing Friday, December 30, which will be at the Emporium, downtown Yellow Springs, about 8:00 pm.  Tickets can also be bought the evening of the drawing at the Emporium, one door south of the Senior Center, address below.

You do not need to be present to win. Ticket proceeds benefit the programs of the Yellow Springs Senior Center.

The van is a white 2004 Toyota Siena minivan in like-new condition with 43,000 miles. Tickets are $50.00.

First prize is the van, second prize is $500.00, and third prize is $100.00.

Only about 230 tickets have been sold, so there is a 3 in 230 chance of winning. 

Please help support Senior Center programs by buying a raffle ticket. 

If you have questions, e-mail Corinne Pelzl (ysscactive@gmail.com) or call the Senior Center, 937-767-5751.
