Ticket on building lot at Nairn can solve Christmas gift -giving AILSA CRAIG - It's the perfect Christmas gift for that hard -to - please person on your list who al-. ready has everything... and if he already has one of these, it's a cer- tainty he'll be delighted to have another. The solution to at least part of your Christmas gift list puzzle is a $20 ticket on the draw for a build- ing lot in Nairn sponsored by the East Williams Optimist Club. The club established the raffle as its fund-raising project for the Ailsa Craig Recreation Centre. Wintario, Lotario, Loto 649 and all the other lottery schemes have bigger prizes, but they also have almost astronomical odds; that's why their pots run into the millions of dollars. The odds on the lot in Nairn, val- ued at $35,000 are 7,000 to one... because only 7,000 tickets are be- ing sold. Organizers of the draw say the winner can keep his lot and wait for it to appreciate as land values inevi- tably escalate, or sell it quickly for $35,000. The holder of a ticket which did not win the building lot has the sat- isfaction of knowing his donation - or the donation made by whoever bought him the ticket - is helping to build the Ailsa Craig Recreation Centre. Ground is scheduled to be broken for the $850,000 centre ear- ly in 1990. Ailsa Craig Recreation Centre Fund Drive Chairman Gerry Nau- mann said the Optimist Club has a good deal for those who wish to buy tickets, or help sell them for the club. Tickets come in books of 10, and vendors only have to sell eight tickets. They can keep the other two tickets for themselves, or give them as gifts. Naumann said individual tickets, or books of tickets, arc available from any member of East Williams Optimist Club. If you don't know a member, call Ilaumann at 232- 4720 and he'll get a ticket, or books of tickets, to you.
