Admission is free, and there will be free food, free parking and music. This is not an occasion for “retirees only”. The Retiree Council urges active union members and their families to attend so there is an inter-generational crowd present. The event is planned as an opportunity to socialize and have fun with old friends and meet interesting new acquaintances.
Several hourly raffles will be held with prizes that range from gift certificates given by grocery stores, casinos, restaurants and hotels, to jackets, T shirts, Twins tickets and a variety of other items.
There is also a silent auction that will include a catering package from the Prom, home made food, a variety of gift baskets, collectibles and other fun items.
The evening will end with the drawing of winners of a Blackberry or cash equivalent (winner’s choice), $150, $100, and other cash prizes in the Sixth Annual Raffle. The Retiree Council has been selling tickets for this raffle since December. If you have not had a chance to purchase tickets, contact the Retiree Council at 651 227 7647.
Proceeds from the Fun(d) Raiser are used in the Retiree Council’s mission of educating union retirees about a variety of public policy issues, including their rights as senior citizens, and encouraging political action.
