One of the goals of the IBEW Local 26 Retired Members Club is to provide medical equipment to the members and their families whenever they are needed. One of the ways this is accomplished is a yearly raffle to raise money to buy needed equipment. For the past several years we have volunteered to help with the mailing of the raffle tickets to the members of the RMC as well as Local 26 members.
This year with all the restrictions in place it was a bit more challenging. We were able to go into the local's headquarters with a few others and work on stuffing and addressing envelopes. But this year our numbers were small. We also changed how we were selling the tickets and wanted to use up any older supplies of tickets we had.
This meant old ticket prices had to be blacked out before we could use them. That was a very tedious job. We had other volunteers that were willing to stuff and address envelopes from home as well, but we send out 10,000 requests. We worked there all day and also brought home a lot of work too. Even though it is a lot of work, we are always glad to help.
