December 2008
Region C Rally
For all of you have that asked for more information concerning fees, schedules, hotels, etc the Region Staff will be holding their annual Planning Session on February 21 in Chippewa Falls. More information will be coming out soon after that. For daily FYI’s check out the Region C Rally thread on the Region C Website Forum. http://gwta-c.com/GWTARegionCForum/forums/1/26685/ShowPost.aspx#26685
7 Chance Raffle Tickets
Congratulations to the chapters who have turned in 7 Chance Raffle Tickets in the month of November. This must be money and stubs turned in.
Nebraska turned in 16 tickets, Wisconsin turned in 13 tickets and Iowa turned in 9. Way to go. FYI, Illinois is in the lead for the month of December with 11 tickets so far.
Bike Raffle Tickets
No Bike Raffle tickets were turned back into us for the month of November. We do need tickets returned for the month of December. In prior years tickets had been released early and very few were returned early. So National decided to save the cost and not release them until early in the year. Please help us show National that is definitely worth their time and money to get us our tickets early. Regional Ticket Coordinator (TBA, but at this time is Randy and myself) can only accept checks or money orders. There will be no cash accepted (except at Gold Rush). When ticket stubs and monies are returned to the Region, the number of ticket stubs and money must agree. If the money is different from the number of ticket stubs – ALL will be returned to the State to be verified and corrected. Tickets stubs must be bundled and marked with the number of ticket on the packet. ALL staples or spine glue must be removed.
GWTA Lexington Kentucky Derby
Looks like Michigan is currently in the lead, with Northern California
and Iowa, Texas, Indiana and Nebraska working on catching up to them!
Good Luck to the horses waiting to enter the race: Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois,
Washington, Oregon, Alberta, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and Connecticut.

 Updates
12/18/2008
Great news everyone! I am currently in the process of changing my e-mail address. If you are contacting me via the webster account this address will soon be going out of business. This is because of all the spam that comes into that address at this time. The spam is probably because someone, somewhere published this e-mail address on their website which as everyone knows is a big NO NO.
To retrieve the new e-mail address, it will become necessary for everyone to fill in the feedback form on the website and send it off. I'll try and compile a courtesy notice but no guarantees!
As a reminder, when you receive the new e-mail address, do not publish it. When spam finally catches up to me again, it will become necessary for me to repeat the process again. Thanks so much in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
Until Next Time...
