111 - As a token of my appreciation for your continued support to chess in South Carolina, I will be sponsoring a raffle drawing at the Wendy's LXIX tournament which begins on August 17 and ends on September 14, 2005.  Here are the stipulations:   -There will be three seperate drawings for $100 each -Everyone who participates in all five weeks of the Wendy's tournament ending September 14, regardless of rating or final score, will be entered for a chance to win the drawings -Each person will be entered only once, so that three different people will go home winners of the raffle drawing.   The raffle will be held Wednesday, September 14, immediately before the round.  Make sure you are on time that night, or your name will not be considered.  Much like the lottery, if you want to win, you have to play...all five rounds.  Good luck! James MacDougall, SCCA President ************************************************************************* President MacDougall: Your magnanimity is probably unwarranted.  We are both attempting to acheive the same thing; popularity of our royal game of chess. South Carolina has suffered for years from a paucity of good tournaments. Since you have been in office, I have observed more SC activity than ever before and the CCC has always supported your efforts. Your lack of experience has been overshadowed by your foresight and enthusiasm.  With grand TD David Causey (Charleston) in your camp, how can you go wrong! All CCC members greatly appreciate your generousity. We'll see you on September 14! Keep up the great work, NM Leland Fuerstman, President CCC
