Did you know there are only 38 days until the National Election for the Presidency of the United States?
Did you know that means there’s only six weeks until that election?
Did you know it’s only 33 days until the Williams Station Day Celebration?
Have you realized it’s only four weeks until the Williams Station Day?
Here’s something I bet you didn’t know! The Atmore Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 7016, has a very special and extremely unique raffle that’s just starting!
Why is it special and unique you ask? I hope you are sitting down! Your VFW Post is selling raffle tickets for an extremely collectable Donald J. Trump, Fight, Fight, Fight AR-15 rifle.* State Line Pawn Shop is helping make this happen. The winner of this raffle will be announced November 1 in Atmore.
We also have a second-place prize of a $200 McMurphy Oil gas card, and a third place prize of a $50 gas card plus a $50 gift card. This is not one of those “all or nothing” raffles.
Raffle tickets are only $20 each, unless you’re a member of the VFW, any VFW Post, because members of the VFW have earned a DISCOUNTED $15 raffle ticket price.
Keep reading … If you’re a veteran and want this VFW discount, along with the fellowship, camaraderie and unity that comes with your VFW membership, all you need to do is apply to be a VFW member. (We will need to see your DD 214 or any other supporting military documents to verify eligibility.)
Did you figure out we’re doing this raffle to help our local VFW Post grow?
I bet you already know, since you’ve read about our raffle you can help our VFW raffle by telling all your friends and family about it and encouraging all veterans you know to join VFW Post 7016 or any VFW Post and maybe the American Legion too.
We would love it if any local business wants to join in by adding to our prizes or even letting us put raffle posters up and volunteer to help sell our raffle tickets.
Questions? Give the Atmore VFW a call at 251-331-5415 or 850-326-3344.
