I met a group of gals that are a lot like the group of gals at my old chapter-A GREAT GROUP OF GALS! They started their monthly fund raiser to help with ARD/SRD/IRD. It was called Treasure Chest. One of the gals dressed up as a pirate and explained it. You bought 5 keys for a dollar. If one or more of your keys fit, you got to chose one of the gifts. I bought 5 keys. My first key fit. The others didn't. I chose a tablet of writing paper, pens and post-it notes as my gifts.
Glad to hear you are in a new chapter and are enjoying it.
sounds like you found a good group. The fund raiser sounds like a good one. Thanks for sharing it.
