As in the past 16 years, we will have a basket raffle at the Mid-Year Conference at the Holiday Inn in Albany, Feb. 24-27, 2011.

This year, Governor Mike has designated the proceeds of the Basket Raffle to send Kampers to Kamp Kiwanis.

You are encouraged to bring to the Conference a basket of items representative of your area. Each year we have seen baskets of food, chocolates, wine, liquor, toys, business items, books, sporting goods, and other items. Be creative, have fun and let's raise lots of money so that we can help more children around our District.

Please inform Basket Chair Rebecca Ovadia or Co-Chair Herman Ovadia if you are bringing a basket. You can reach Rebecca at woodsidekiwanis@yahoo.com, Herman at regoroff@yahoo.com or by calling (516) 432-5690.
