National Specialty Raffles

First of all, many thanks to all of you who supported our National Specialty Raffle and the 50-50 Raffle by buying and selling the tickets that were mailed out to you. We were thrilled at the number of tickets sold at the end of the day and are really appreciative of your efforts. Our funds were significantly boosted by the income generated by these two Raffles.

I’d also like to thank our generous sponsors who donated the lovely prizes for the National Specialty Raffle - Kathy Norris and Helmut Erhardt of The Hunting Horn Jewelers, W.R. (Bill) Van Wyck - Duurstede and Pat Volney - Lochiel Gordons.

Congratulations to our Winners! The National Specialty Raffle was won by Sante Colonnello, with Margaret Ekosky winning 2nd prize and Judith Brown the 3rd prize. Sante and Margaret decided to swap their prizes so Margaret ended up with the gorgeous earrings and Sante, to his delight, took home the copy of the Gordon Setter Review!
The 50-50 Raffle (which was held in conjunction with the Irish Setter Club) was won by Linda Haven of Middleton, Nova Scotia. She was thrilled to bits with her win as she had travelled to Winnipeg from Nova Scotia to show her ML Dachshunds and this helped to pay for her trip out west. She told me that she always likes to support Breed Clubs as she believes that if we don’t support each other , none of us will be able to hold Specialties and other major events. She was just so happy that she was able to be there and also watch our Setter Specialties!

For every $10 donation received towards the Trophy /National Specialty Fund a ticket was entered in the Donor’s name in the Pencil Portrait draw. This prize was donated by talented artist Gary Tucker of Oakisle Irish and Gordon Setters.
The winner of the hand drawn portrait of the dog of her choice is Pat Volney.
