Just a couple of things to pass along.
1. Please be preparing a basket for the scholarship raffle to be held at Championships. We are asking each unit to provide a basket, ALL the money from this goes to students in the form of scholarships. Be creative. This was a huge success last year and we anticipate this years raffle to be much bigger and better. Examples of baskets: "Death by Chocolate", "Coffee Lovers Basket" "A night at the Movies", "Gardening"... You can drop your baskets off at the registration table or at the Raffle table located on the upper concourse when you get to the arena. Pleaese email Tracy with what your school will be brining at

2. We are asking each unit to also provide something for the directors hospitality area. Preferably something that does not need to be refrigerated. Again, drop these off at the registration table upon arrival. 3. Flowers will be available for purchase again this year. This money goes directly back to CIPA for Championship expenses. Encourage your "people" to buy flowers from CIPA. If you would like to pre-order, as many have done in the past, please e-mail
