Hello NDHSRA Members!

We will again have a few ways for you to earn money by participating in the NON-MANDATORY FUNDRAISING INCENTIVE PROGRAM. This program was set up to encourage fundraising throughout the membership, as well as to provide a way for members to earn money for themselves. Here’s how it works:

1)    If a member wishes to be eligible for National travel money, free National and/or State Finals apparel (jackets, shirts, etc.), paid state entry fees, or Incentive Money, that member must sell $100 in Fundraisers. If a member does not wish to be eligible for any of these things they do not need to participate in fundraising other than MANDATORY BRAND-ADS.
-Available fundraisers are: $10 Raffle tickets and 2008 NDHSRA Calendars & brand ad/state finals program ads sold after the initial $50 required of all members.

2)   After a member sells $100 worth of raffle tickets or calendars they are eligible to receive National Travel Money, National and or State Team Apparel, Paid State Entry Fees, and Incentive Money. You may choose one or both of these fundraisers to participate in.

3)   INCENTIVE MONEY FOR RAFFLE AND CALENDAR SALES: Members who sell MORE than $100 are eligible to receive $.40 on the dollar (40% of sales after $100) into an account in their name. The money each member earns will be paid out via check on Sunday at the State Finals at the General Meeting. So if a member sells 100 raffle tickets they will receive a check back for $360 at State.
-10 tickets x $10//ticket= first $100
-90 tickets x $10/ticket=$900 x.40=$360 to member
There is no limit to the amount of incentive money to be earned by a member.

The only MANDATORY fundraiser is Brand-Ads. You are still required to sell FIVE BRAND ADS, or write a check to Teresa for $50 by the Killdeer Rodeo next spring. These are separate from the other fundraisers, so they do not count toward your $100; however, you can earn incentive money from them after the initial $50 sales.

I hope this program can offer “Something for everyone” and will be successful. We hope to have the raffle tickets ready by Elgin and the calendars ready by Watford City. If anyone has questions please contact Teresa at the office.

• Raffle Tickets are $10 each.

• We will draw for prizes at State Finals on Sunday during the Performance.

• Prizes: 1) Trip for 2 to 2008 NFR.  3 days, 2 nights, rodeo tickets, airfare, meal vouchers;  2) .270 Weatherby Vanguard Sub MOA Hunting Rifle with Fiberstock and Stainless Steel Barrel, includes 3.5-1010x42 Scheels Scope; 3) $500 cash

You can return ticket stubs and money to Teresa Jorgenson or Gene Harris; contact the NDHSRA office if you need more tickets. Raffle ticket money and stubs will be turned in by the New Salem rodeo--no exceptions! You will not be allowed to sell beyond that time as we need to be able to get the incentive figured out before the state rodeo.

We are making 2008 calendars for members to sell; group pictures of each event will be taken in Elgin following the MANDATORY contestant meeting. Each month of the calendar will feature a group photo of an event, along with an action shot of last year's champion. These will sell for $10 and we hope to have them available by the Watford City rodeo. Calendar sales will be finished by the New Salem rodeo--no exceptions! You will not be allowed to sell beyond that time as we need to be able to get the incentive figured out before the state rodeo.
