Whiskey Raffle Update
Don't Forget About Whiskey

HAVE YOU DECIDED WHAT SPECIAL WHISKEY MIGHT BE THE SPECIAL ONE THAT HELPS THE CLUB RAISE $10,000 IN SUPPORT OF OUR CHARITABLE WORK FOR THIS YEAR? THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE AS WE LAUNCH OUR THIRD ANNUAL WHISKEY RAFFLE. ALL WE NEED IS THE RIGHT BLEND OF WHISKEYS AND GENEROUS WHISKEY ENTHUSIASTS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

How can you help?  Right now, we're focused on the first part of the blend - fine in-demand whiskey donations. Visit your local liquor store TODAY and asking for a donation. After a few years of doing the raffle we've learned that the unusual or rare bottle generates more ticket sales. Some in-demand whiskeys include: Stag, Penelope, Parker's Whistle Pig and Blantons.  Need more ideas:  https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2023/08/the-american-whiskey-masters-2023-results/

Drawings will be held at each Thirsty Thursday in the months of October, November and December.  So it is critical that we have our whiskeys lined up by the end of the month.  Don't delay.
