Ohio Elks Charity Tickets - Changes To Drawing Announced

I hope you are all doing well with the Charity Ticket sales. I would like to explain a “change” we have made this year.

The Charity Tickets have been on a steady decline over the past several years. More than $12,000. lower than when it was doing well. It has leveled off the past year or two, but we are still down about $12,000.

Now is the time to make a change, and hopefully for the better. I introduced this to the Interim Governing Board (IGB) a couple years ago and after further discussion, it was recently approved. I have sent one previous email out. I will continue to send notifications out over the next couple of months.

Not only are we drawing in August, NOT APRIL, but I am also encouraging folks to continue to sell the rest of your tickets over the next six months. I would continue to send them out with dues notices. I would have officers sell them. I would sell them on drawing nights. Your Lodge keeps half, so it is a win-win!

Please let me know if I can help you and your Lodge!

Remember, do not bring your tickets until August 2023!
