The Island Wide 50/50

PROJECT RESCUE
The Island Wide 50/50

The Island Wide 50/50, which will result in monthly drawings in conjunction with the Art @ Five Socials, was announced at a soft opening on October 20th and the first drawing will be held on November 3rd. The implementation of the program is under the chairmanship of Art League President, Keith Klipstein. “The limited time frame of 2 weeks prior to the first drawing is considered a ‘soft opening’ to test the system and procedures”, stated Klipstein.

There will be 44 Marco Island businesses involved and at each business, drawing tickets may be purchased at $1.00 per ticket. The purchaser will place his/her telephone number on one ticket and receive a corresponding ticket copy for their records. The ticket with the telephone number will be placed in a receptacle at the business location and all tickets from participating businesses will be collected the day prior to the 1st Tuesday Art @ Five Social and placed in the raffle drum at the Art League for the drawing. Winners do not need to be present to win and will be contacted immediately by telephone if not in attendance.

Participating business owners are rewarded for their support as they receive 5 complimentary tickets or 10% of the number of tickets they sell and are eligible to win. The vendor where the winning ticket was sold will receive 2% of the winnings and be invited to be recognized at the next Art @ Five Social. President Klipstein states, “Excitement to participate and attend the After Five’s is expected to increase as the program becomes known in the community and the winning “pot” grows. It’s a win-win for everyone, fun and excitement, reward for the winner and the vendor, all in support of Saving Marco’s Art League”.

Businesses wishing to participate are encouraged to contact
