As
you may have seen in the media this week, our case regarding the
restraining order on Meijer is going to be heard by the Illinois Supreme
Court. Our belief is that the case is being heard because this
case is important and effects all the state's residents. As in the lower
court and the appellate court, we feel we have a good case and that we
will prevail. We are about to be responsible for setting state law.
Remember when you were a kid in civics class? Did you ever really
believe that you could make a difference. WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
You are making this possible.
FYI the Supreme Court decision probably won't be made before the Fall,
just to give you a timeframe.
Making a difference in the world still carries a price. It require much
effort and more money. Our car raffle last year was very successful, so
we are having another one this year. The tickets are $100 each and there
are 400 tickets. The car is a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM 4 door sedan. You
also have the option of taking $20,000 instead. If less than 400 tickets
are sold the winner will receive half the money received from sale of
tickets.
Once again you can order your tickets through me via e-mail
or buy them from your neighborhood CRADL raffle seller if you prefer.
There is no prize given to the person who sells the most tickets, so I
don't care who you buy your ticket from, as long as you buy tickets. On
the other hand, last year's winning ticket was sold by me via e-mail.
I will deliver your raffle ticket to your door.
When is the winning raffle ticket picked, Joel? I'm glad you asked.
There will be a CRADL fund raiser at Carriage
Greens Country Club, Darien on April 6 at 7:30. The cost of admission is
$25 per person. You don't have to be there to win, but all those who
attended last year had a great time. Hors D'ouevres will be served and
there is a cash bar. We will again have a silent auction which kept
everyone hopping last year. Karl gates of Gates Appraisals will also be
there for the Antiques Sideshow. He will appraise antiques at $10 each.
Remember we are raising money for a very important cause. Every dollar
is appreciated and well spent. A good time will be had by all.
My e-mail line is open.
Let the buying begin.
