Alayne with Barbara and Scott July 24

Barbara Edwards and her husband Scott came by on Friday afternoon so we could hold the drawing for the quilt raffle.  Barbara shuffled the tickets around in a basket, dumped them back in the jar, and then Scott twirled the jar a few more times.  Finally it was time for Alayne to reach in and pick a winner.

And it is … Diane B. of Chehalis, Washington!

At this point we still didn't know how much the raffle had brought in for the animals.  Then Barbara handed Alayne a sealed envelope, and inside was a check for … $1,800!  Wow!  Here's Alayne holding the check:

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets — and to Barbara for making the quilt and organizing the raffle!

    I’m so glad that the amount of raffle tickets sold was lifted so the RDR could get more money out of this very generous gift! Thanks so much again to Barbara & Scott Edwards for your persistent support of RDR as I know those quilts don’t come together overnight. Congrats to the winner of the raffle Diane B. & all who purchased raffle tickets! There are no “losers” in this deal. What a great amount was raised for the RDR! That’s fantastic! Big hugs to Barbara & Scott for all that hard work & consistently supporting RDR! What a great example for all the rest of us.
    Big hugs to all,
    ginger, Tobias & Tlingit

    My husband just came home carrying a box with a big question mark on his face. “Who do we know in MT that would be sending you something?” Soon as I saw the return address I started yelling, “I won, I won!” Then confirmed it when I opened the box. It is even more lovely than in the pictures, and will go in a place of honor on our wall, soon as I find a good mounting board. It is really special since we are dog lovers and my husband is a Deputy with Lewis Co. Sheriffs Office. I’ll send pictures as soon as it’s up. Thank you Barbara & Scott Edwards for your work at supporting RDR. Now, everyone who comments on it will get a recommendation to my favorite Charity.
    Thank You, Diane and Brad Borden,
