The ever-popular fundraiser Wine Survivor at the Boyne Regional Library is back and ongoing in Carman.
Wine Survivor is a fun and exciting way to support your local library and gives you a chance to win some wine before the holiday season. This year, the funds will go toward library programming, which may include youth, adults, and seniors in library activities, workshops, and crafts.
Gather a team of four members who are all 18 years of age or older, create a fun name, and bring your registration to the library before Nov. 29 at 5 p.m. Registration is $60 per team, and you must bring four bottles of wine with a value of at least $15 per bottle, along with all the team members’ names and phone numbers. The library will accept up to 25 teams.
“We have a growing number of patrons who come to the library to participate in our programming, and Wine Survivor is a way to support this,” said Lynsey Hannah of the Boyne Regional Library. “We offer programs for people to gain important skills, learn something new, and connect. Making connections at the library can have profound effects on your own life and the lives of your neighbours. We are grateful for community members who attend our programming, and thank those who will participate in this fundraiser to make it fun and successful.”
Wine Survivor is a daily elimination type draw, with daily winners and one final wine survivor. All team members’ names are individually added to the draw. Ten names will be drawn each day, Tuesday to Friday, beginning on Dec. 3. The first nine names drawn each day will be eliminated from wine survivor, but the tenth name drawn that day will receive up to eight bottles of wine for their team. No draws will be made on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
This will continue until Dec. 18 or until at least ten names remain. On the final draw date, all previous winners will be added back to the draw, and an elimination draw will occur until one name is left. That last name is the Boyne Regional Library Wine Survivor, and they will win up to 28 bottles of wine for their team.
The number of bottles won is based on filling all 25 team spots and may be subject to change if not all team spots are filled.
Daily winners and eliminations will be posted to the library’s social media pages, website, and bulletin board. You can find more information at sites.google.com/site/boyneregionallibrary/wine-survivor. You can also follow Boyne Regional Library on Instagram @CarmanLibrary.
