I don't drink

Goodbye to the Raffle!

I belong to a charity organisation that meets a few time a year for a formal evening meal. During the meal we always have a raffle which is usually for a bottle of drink. This year, and with me as a teetotaller being president of the dinner the treasurer who organises the raffle decided to have as a prize a book voucher instead.
Now I don't mind there being a prize of booze and I even enter the raffle on the basis that the money is for charity and I don't expect to win anyway, but I do appreciate the treasurer feeling it was more suitable to have a non-alcoholic prize during my presidential year.
Two dinners on there have been so many complaints and so much moaning we have decided to cancel the raffle at the dinner tonight. It is a shame really and I will be shaking the charity bag for contributions regardless but it does show that fewer people are interested in reading these days. I used to love getting book tokens as a kid.
