Putnam Rotary today released tickets for its annual charity raffle. "We're not selling tickets," said Chet Marshall. "We're offering an opportunity to get something in return while supporting college scholarships and local community improvement projects."
The club this year awarded two scholarships for Putnam high school students, an increase made possible by funding through the annual raffle.
All income from ticket sales goes to charitable projects. The club will pay the cost of prizes.
Three drawings for prizes will be made. There will be drawings for $500 each on February 14 and March 13. A final drawing will be made on April 10 for a grand prize of $1,000.
All drawings will be at noon at the First State Bank Community Room. Holders of the winning tickets do not need to be present to win.
"Ticket holders have three chances of winning if they get their tickets before the first drawing," said Marshall. "The odds are much better than in a lottery, and the proceeds stay in the local community."
