For those wondering about whether or not you had to be present at the December 16th, 2024, monthly membership meeting and holiday extravaganza and be in compliance with the other requirements of the raffle, in order to win the second YETI cooler, you did.
As for the first Yeti cooler, and as promised, you did not have to be present at that meeting to have a chance to win this cooler. That winner was picked randomly from the Funds listing of those already in compliance with the requirements of this raffle.
By the way, these YETI Coolers were not “Lunchables” size coolers. No siree! That’s not the way we roll. These were serious coolers. The kind that hunters, tailgaters, and BBQ purists would be proud to have at their side. These were of the size that could make your siblings and friends jealous because they can hold 139 cans and 77 cans respectively of a favorite libation or 93 or 58 pounds of ice.
But wait. There was more.
For those that met those requirements AND attended that meeting, they had the chance to not only win the second YETI cooler, but the surprise “merch” listed below:
- A YETI Panga Waterproof Duffle Bag. What’s that you ask? Well, it is a fully submersible, puncture resistant, adventure grade, “keep your gear completely dry”, serious and profound piece of equipment / luggage.
- Several Yeti Rambler stackable mugs (10 oz)
- Several YETI Rambler stackable cups (20 oz), and
- A few Rambler water bottles (18 oz)
Needless to say, It was a pretty terrific meeting. Practically, “Hallmark” movie worthy as it contained:
- A holiday.
- A gathering.
- People in good spirits and one or two not.
- A challenge or task that required appropriate and right actions.
- A triumph.
- And a happy ending.
Obviously, not everyone could win the items listed above. But hear me out. Everyone who put in the effort, are still winners. Why? Because they understand that the effort needed to provide themselves with a chance to win both YETI coolers and the surprise “merch” listed above also go a long way in securing both their and their family’s future physical and financial health. And who knows, the chance to win something else if ever the Funds raffles things off again.
And just like a Hallmark movie, those that did and do the right thing were and are rewarded. Those that did not or do not put in the effort, don’t.
In today’s complicated word, what could be more predictable, simple, comforting, or for that matter, … consistent with traditional American values than that?
