Also attached is a raffle ticket template. Please make copies of this template to sell tickets for your lodges basket/gift item.  Remember; you can start selling raffle tickets as soon as you have your raffle item ready, so the sooner you start selling the more you will collect. All pre-sold tickets will be brought to Silver Towers on the day of the ride with your raffle item, and that amount collected will go directly towards your lodges Silver Towers Assessment.

We thought this would be a fun idea to decorate the vehicles, motorcycles, and yourselves in Red, White, and Blue for the final ride from Middlebury HS to Silver Towers, making a grand parade to greet the campers. And if I know the campers, I’m sure they will be decked out as well!! Please be sure to spread the word.
 
Once you have a gift basket or raffle item ready, please send an email to me and I’ll start sharing what lodges have come up with for ideas.
 
Please share this in your Newsletters, at your lodges and with your members and community.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Have a great weekend and thank you for your continued support of the Silver Towers Camp.

The AmazonSmile Feature is ending

Posted on

Many of us have probably used the AmazonSmile feature to have Amazon make donations to our Silver Towers Camp Charities.  However we have just been informed that as of February 20, 2023, Amazon will no longer be supporting the AmazonSmile program. While our purchases triggered small individual donations, Silver Towers Charities did receive an overall contribution of $1672.00 during our participation.  

Thanks to all who used it.
