Support the DCR Chamber Wine & Spirits Pull and
Mystery Purse Raffle
We need wine, spirits, and gift cards … and you can help! The 11th Annual WomEn’s Leadership Forum is again conducting the very popular Wine & Spirits Pull, raising funds for the DCR Chamber Charitable Foundation Scholarship Fund. New this year is the Mystery Purse Raffle, where a designer purse will be filled with surprise gift cards.
Please consider donating bottles of wines or spirits, valued at $20 or more, and in return, we will give you or your business additional exposure on-site at the event. You can add your business card, wine wrap, or glass charm to the bottle, so the person choosing your bottle knows who it is from. We are looking for a variety of gift cards ($25 or larger) to enhance the mystery purse package.
Drop off your donations no later than Friday, March 4th at the DCR Chamber office or make arrangements with Becky Little at blittle@dcrchamber.com or 651-288-9202.
