Family Friendly Free Time & Social Activities
In recognition of the fact that Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend are the only two three-day weekends we get every year in our business, NCALC’s annual conventions are designed with the family in mind.
Friday and Saturday night’s social functions are kid and adult friendly, from the Mardi Gras Friday and the Luau Saturday to the buffets (with adult and kids’ food), to the entertainment (with music for young and old) and contests and Prizes. Sunday night the adults go more formal — there is a special party for the Young Cleaners so you don’t have to spring for a sitter. Every activity ends at 11 p.m.
Education is conducted Saturday and Sunday mornings so everybody is ready for lunch, the pool and/or the beach by noon. Sun from noon to 6 p.m. for two days is probably more than any is needed this early in the spring.
1st Annual Raffle & Draw-Down Play Rules
In lieu of the Silent & Live Auction as our annual fundraiser, the NCALC Board of Directors approved District Director Tom Wilson’s plan to conduct a “draw down raffle” at the 106th annual convention on Memorial Day weekend.
The plan calls for the sale of 149 individually numbered tickets for $100 each and ticket #145 in a live auction when there are only four tickets left in the draw down for $3250 in prize money. An additional wrinkle is a majority of the final five ticket holders (min. three actual ticket holders must be present) can elect to receive $500 each and stop the final draw. You do not have to be present to win.
$100 prizes will also go to the holders of the 50th and 100th tickets drawn. As tickets are drawn (removed from the drawing as potential winners), they will be placed in a second drawing for door prizes donated to or purchased by the raffle committee.
You may purchase a raffle ticket with your convention registration, or if you cannot attend the convention use the conventionn registration form to purchase you raffle ticket,
If you have any questions, please contact Tom Wilson at 828-648-2817.
