Every year at the Michigan Knights of Columbus State Convention on Mackinac Island in May, a
Basket Raffle held by the ladies raises money for charities supported by the Knights of Columbus.
Once again this year, the Weingartz family will match the amount raised from ticket sales to double
our charitable giving. This raffle has allowed us to donate thousands of dollars over the years since its
inception in 1985. Ladies attending the convention: You are invited to help with the raffle and can
enjoy the company of other ladies from around the state! We need volunteers to help sell raffle
tickets, as well as assist with setup, raffle basket arrangement, the raffle drawing, and cleanup. If
you’re new to all of this, don’t worry, we’ll show you what you need to know! Sign up online by clicking
