REVERSE RAFFLE - JULY 11TH
GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY!!!

Sponsored By: 

Last year TABA stepped out on a limb in attempt to bring our members a new and entertaining event.  Fortunately the gamble paid off, and due to our success we are continuing and growing the TABA Reverse Raffle.  The 2008 Reverse Raffle is scheduled for Friday, July 11th and will again be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Temple, TX. 

As last year was a learning experience, some things will continue, some will change.  Once again, we will be fortunate to have County Commissioner Eddy Lange running the show for us.  However, the prize packages have been bulked up and their values increased substantially.  We have also made more tickets available to accommodate the overwhelming response we experienced. 

This year we have increased the number of tickets by 50.  This means 240 tickets have been sold or will be soon.  Hopefully this will accommodate all those that tried to get tickets "last minute" last year--even still, we recommend you not wait until the end to get yours. 

Tickets are $100 each and you can buy as many as you like.  Mulligans will be $25 and are for sale the evening of the event only.  These tickets cannot be billed on your TABA account.  They must be paid for at the time of purchase and you must be present or send a representative to make decisions about your ticket. 

Everyone had a fantastic time last year.  If you missed last year's event you won't want to miss it again.  Tickets are being sold through the Membership Meetings & Sponsors Committee and the TABA Board of Directors.  Please call the office for more information.  The event schedule as well as a list of prizes is listed below.
