2009
Annual Chamber Raffle
Sponsored by 
April 22 at the Canadian Club

Congratulations
to our 2009 $4,500 winners Senator Doyle & Monti/Scott! |
The 27th time was a charm for Washington
County Senator Bill Doyle
who finally took home a share of the top prize in Central Vermont Chamber
of Commerce annual raffle.
A ticket holder every year since its inception in 1983, Doyle decided not to
tempt fate Wednesday night.
After brief discussion with fellow-semifinalist Roy Scott of Vermont Fire Extinguisher,
the two elected to split both the $4,000 top prize and the $500 runner-up award.
Scott acted on behalf of his ticket's co-owner, former Barre mayor and state
representative Harry Monti.

Grand
Prize Winner $4,000 - Dona Bate
|
No one enjoyed last week’s Central Vermont Chamber
of Commerce raffle more than its past president who left with a smile
and $4,000. The holder of the 150th and final ticket, Dona Bate of dbatespeaking,
unabashedly celebrated when Vic Fecteau, the final contender, was eliminated.
Fecteau won the $500 second prize.
|
The raffle has been an annual Chamber event for 26 years and has been
the key to the purchase and expansion of the organization’s office
complex in Berlin. The first raffle was organized by Marion Milne as
she completed her term as president in 1983, and the honorary life
member has been chair or co-chair of the event ever since.
Proceeds from the raffle represented the down payment for purchase of the Chamber
office in 1991, and nine years later, the seed money for a major expansion.
