Do you like winning money? Do you like spending small amounts of money for a chance to make LOTS of money? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, than come to the Con-Ed Office to purchase your “50/50 Draw” tickets!

Tickets go on sale starting today – $2 for 1 ticket and $5 for 3 tickets – and will run until Thursday, March 30th. The draw will be held Friday, April 1st and the winner will be notified by e-mail. This is open to people outside of Con-Ed, so get your friends to buy tickets, too! The more tickets people buy, the more money you can win!

This is a fundraiser to help support Con-Ed’s 2011 ThankQ Gift of providing additional funds for Teaches during Frosh Week.

So come to the Office to buy your tickets now!

In addition, our Workshop Coordinators are bringing the Mental Health Issues Workshop on Monday, March 28, 5:30 – 6:30.

The workshop is $2 at the door (location TBA) and is open to all Queen’s students, not just Concurrent Education students. See you there!
