The Altrusa Club of Tucumcari will be holding its annual fundraiser at 6 p.m. on Saturday at the Elk’s Lodge. This year the top prize will be $15,000 in cash instead of a car. Altrusa sells 275 tickets each year for $100; each ticket is numbered and 275 numbered ping-pong balls are put in the hopper. Altrusa then has a reverse drawing with the last number or ping-pong ball with the corresponding number winning the $15,000. Every 25th number that is drawn out gets a door prize donated by local businesses. Second place this year will receive $500. Each ticket purchased allows two people to attend a barbecue dinner provided by the Elk’s Lodge, a chance to win $15,000 and dance to the music of the High Mesa Band. All of the money Altrusa raises goes to community service projects in Quay County.
