Don’t forget the 3 x100 chance drawing!  We have a few local artisans, the Norlings and Joshua Cunningham, who worked very hard to handcraft these items (and let’s not forget the Sage craftspeople).  It would be a shame to not maximize their generous donation by selling all 100 tickets!

1.  Email gregolson@kiaptuwish.org to make sure tickets are available. Include how many tickets you want and your address to sent them to.
