With a final turn-in of 71 sold tickets, Council 11369 blows the lid off our record year of Super Cash Charity Bonanza Raffle tickets sales, with a final tally of 1296 tickets.

It’s also a record in terms of the number of Brother Knights selling tickets, with an amazing 51 ticket sellers this year.

Part of that increase comes from our new brothers from council 3144.

With this amazing sales effort, the council looks to make about $5700 this year.

Our rebate check will come in August or September.

Thank you Brother Knights, and thanks to Fr. Matthew and Fr. Terry for allowing us to sell at our churches.

Thanks also to Fr. Peter Polando for letting us sell at St Columba Cathedral.

Some other notable accomplishments:

Top seller: Brother Paschal, 173 tickets! Wow!

About 250 people enjoyed the Pancake and Sausage Breakfast at the Ellsworth Township Administration Building on May 5th.

Brothers from Council 11369 cooked up the breakfast and made everyone feel welcome.

Goodwill donations were accepted for the Ellsworth Fire Department, who also assisted in getting food and drink on the table.

All the proceeds went to the fire department.

The council did make money on placemat advertising.
