“You Can’t Win Without a Ticket!”

In the last newsletter members received four tickets for the Center’s $40,000 Split The Pot raffle. We ask that you buy them or sell them to family, friends, and anyone else.   Return the stubs with checks or cash to our address, with Attention: Raffle on the envelope, or drop them off at the Reception Desk. Tickets are $20 each or 3 for $50.   First Prize will be $10,000; Second and Third prizes will be $5,000 each. Total prize money of $20,000 will be given away.   People can purchase tickets individually or they can pair up with others to buy tickets. This raffle is critical to helping restore the financial health of our Center. Prior to this, we have made many efforts to achieve a healthy bottom line including a $75,000 reduction in salaries and personnel expenses from 2008 to present. We need your help to do more as we continue to reduce the debt on our beautiful facility.

In 2009, membership dues of $58,018 covered 2.4% of our operating expenses. If these raffles are successful, we may avoid increasing dues or curtailing operating hours in the future.

It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages.

Always be aware that free software sometimes has a gimmick. Software manfacturers give free versions to tempt you to purchase the complete product. On behalf of the software manufacturers this is an excellent way to advertise and market the consumer. They hope that you will purchase a complete version of their product. The senior center is not responsible for your actions on your computer and the downloads that I suggest nor am I.

The tips that I give you will be tried and true (I'll test the software first). I will furnish the links to you on this page. Try the software out, if the product is not what you expected go to and click on start,  find and click on control panel. Once in your control panel click on add or remove icon find the product and click on remove.
