JUNE 15, 2012 FUNDRAISER - $20 FOR BURGER AND BEER

To see the same post on the Turtle Gardens blog .... CLICK HERE

IF only fundraising were as easy as going out for a burger and a beer with friends, family, or co-workers...
Well it is!!   Turtle Gardens is holding a fundraiser at Schanks in the perfectly central location of Queensborough (where Richmond meets New Westminster).   Schanks is a large venue where we are welcome to play host to as little as 100 people and as many as 1000.    People who buy a ticket to support Turtle Gardens will be given a burger* with fries and a beer/or pop. The cost of a ticket is $20.00 and $10.00 of every ticket goes directly to Turtle Gardens.  The more people we can get out on June 15, 2012 the more we support Turtle Gardens.  We are also hoping that Yvette will be in town for this date.  
This is a casual pub night and there will be a 50/50 draw and a small raffle.  There may also be some mini golf, virtual golf and pool table contests, depending on interest.
Kibbles – and his burger and beer
WHEN:  Friday, June 15, 2012, 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM
WHERE:  Schanks Sports Grill, 350 Gifford Street, New Westminster  604-777-8008
Schanks is conveniently located in the triangle between New Westminster, Surrey, Delta, Richmond and Vancouver.  So this should be a short drive for so many people in the Lower Mainland.  It is part of the same building as the Casino so if you want to go and bet $2.00 on a machine, with your winnings going to Turtle Gardens, you can just walk right next door.   There is ample free parking too.
TICKETS:  $20.00 each, with $10.00 going to Turtle Gardens.  Please email me (Lisa B.) with your request for tickets at tgfundraiser@hotmail.com.   The earlier you buy your tickets the more successful our event will be.  (If you buy a ticket and find out later you are unable to attend, $10.00 from your ticket purchase will still go to TG but if you return your ticket a week before the event your full $20.00 will go to Turtle Gardens.)
For payment by cheque I will scan and email you a copy of your ticket (tickets are numbered) with your name on it and it will be at the venue for pick up on the night of the event.  This will cut down on costs for mailing each ticket and means an extra dollar per ticket to TG.  For payment by cash I can arrange to meet at various locations each weekend and on weeknights.   If TG has a Tisol event you can be sure tickets will be sold there as well.  If you want 10 tickets to sell on behalf of TG please email me. 
For people who sell 10 tickets your name will be entered into a special draw (1 entry for every batch of 10).  Imagine if 100 people could sell 10 tickets each!  We could fill the bar and that would mean an instant $10,000 for Turtle Gardens.    We currently have 200 tickets printed but as sales increase we can order more.  So please help us sell tickets!  10 tickets = $100 donation, plus you get a burger and beer too.
I’m not sure what sporting event(s) may be happening that night but sports enthusiasts have no excuse not to come out because you can’t find a better bar to hang out at to watch any games. 
So please buy tickets for you and your friends and family, or even you and your co-workers.  Put your thinking caps on and find groups you can sell tickets to.   Come out and meet TG volunteers and other dog lovers or just come as your own group as an excuse for a Friday night out.   There is no reserved seating, so try to come at 7:00 as we only have our section reserved until 10:00.  
Please note:  no minors allowed
* veggie and chicken burger substitutions can be requested on the night of the event but on a first come first serve basis only.
