Raffle for granddaughter:

Butch SearcyRaffle for granddaughter:
Is it to early to start a raffle for my granddaughters High School softball program. The cost of the illegal aliens here in California has caused the cut backs in funds for all California citizens. I plan on a raffle for a Classic Model and will sell 100 tickets at $150.00 per ticket. The winner will get an $18,00.00 Classic Model rifle.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
