Editor, the Advocate:

The Victoria Jaycees' 2012 Gun Raffle was successful beyond what we had hoped for. On behalf of all Victoria Jaycees, I extend a huge "THANK YOU!" to the community for your purchase of raffle tickets and your support.

A special thank you goes out to Walden's Mini-Mart for allowing us to set up in front of your business to sell tickets and discuss our mission with your patrons. Also a huge thank you to Northside Ranch Pet and Garden Center for taking time to set up and sell tickets in your business.

The community's kindness and support were monumental in making this project a success.

Darin Gisler, Project Chairman for Victoria Jaycees, Victoria
