A very innovative raffle of a fist full of scratchies (to go buy your essential supplies) was well sold by Casey. And the winner - Dan, who might even scratch enough to put a deposit on that boat.

Chris D's speech (Evaluation Level 1) was titled "Never Underestimate the Knowledge of learning a new skill" and was evaluated by Liz.
