Home raffle called off

       The Greenwood Jaycees and the White River Volunteer Fire Department have called of the raffle of a $92,000 home near Greenwood. Dane Meyer, Greenwood Jaycees President, said the raffle was called off because of sluggish ticket sales. He said the groups sold 64 tickets at $100 each. They needed to sell 1,000 tickets before the raffle could be held. The drawing was set for Saturday. Another raffle sponsored by the Greenwood Little League, is going strong. Sandi Finlison of the Little League said nearly 600 of the 1,400 tickets needed to be sold have been sold for the Dec. 15 drawing for a $75,000 house located next door to the house that was offered by the Jaycees and fire fighters. Meyer said the money brought in by the Jaycees and fire department raffle is going to be returned.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
