Tara Club Monthly Meetings
WELCOME!

Tara's Monthly Door Prize Raffle: At the regular monthly meetings, the Tara club holds a fun door prize raffle. Prizes are donated by the club, as well as contributed by individual members, and range from beekeeping tools & equipment to honey bee and beekeeping related arts & crafts, books and treats. Be sure to pick up a few tickets from the raffle table at the beginning of each meeting to participate and financially support our club.
What's going on with the Quarterly prizes? *** 2013 prizes to be announced *** The Tara club holds a Quarterly drawing four times a year (at the monthly meetings in March, June, & October and at the annual holiday party in December). Be sure to pick up a few tickets each quarter to support the club's endeavors (e.g., annual donation(s) to the GBA Buzz Fund to support honey bee research, monthly meeting guest speaker fees, as well as the annual picnic & holiday party expenses). The prizes are more significant than monthly door prizes. And, don't forget to continue to bring your unredeemed 2013 red tickets to every subsequent quarterly drawing because the same tickets are good all year long!
