    MABA Contest Raffle Update

    We’re only a few short days away from the MABA Annual Meeting!   One of the highlights of the Annual Meeting is the contest raffle.

     This year, we are happy to report that we have 29 contests committed to the raffle.  Those contests are listed below.

     Here is how the raffle will work.  A number will be drawn and announced.  The winner will go up to the table and select a form for the contest of their choice.   The form must be filled out and given to MABA representatives at the end of the meeting and exchanged for a certificate.  The certificate entitles you to the contest entry.

     You may sell the entry to another attendee at the meeting, or trade it for another if you see fit.  Please note that some contest organizers ask that their entry not be traded or sold.  This will be noted on the entry.

    Please note—all forms must be turned in at the end of the meeting.  MABA has a responsibility for communicating to the contest organizers the team that won their entry.

     Thank you for participating in this.  We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
