We all should care quite a lot about the revenues to the PGCA that are generated by various sources - the raffle gun ticket sales, the Annual Silent Auction, membership revenues, and a few others.
The PGCA and all of the benefits it provides doesn’t just happen… they cost real money and that money has to come from someplace. We all should really care about the profitability, the bottom line, of the PGCA because without the revenue we need, the PCGA would cease to exist.

The raffle gun is a major source of revenue which helps offsets the membership costs (Parker Pages) that are no longer covered by the annual dues. We have generated after expenses between $18k and $25k annually since I took on the role of Raffle Gun Chair.

Thanks everyone for your support of the premier American double gun organization.

Brian (and Cindy) do an extraordinary service to the Association which benefits all of us. Thanks to both of them, and all of the other members who contribute so much.

We typically mail out tickets to new members each week but we are a couple weeks behind. The next batch will go out a week from today. The other speedy option is for you to mail me a check for the number of tickets you like - Instructions and my address on the first page of this thread - 1 for $5 or 6 for $25 and I will mail you back the stubs or can text you a picture of your stubs. That has worked very well for folks!

Call with any questions

And there’s no limit to the number of tickets you can buy.
Back in 2007 I bought $200 of tickets and was lucky enough to win the gun.
Of course there are no guarantees but the number of tickets you but can affect your chances of winning.

A reminder to members, it’s time to get those tickets in the mail. No time like the present especially if you are a procrastinator like me!!!

Heave a great weekend Parker friends!

By 2097, $200 won’t buy you a cup of coffee.
