Good evening,
I was recently approached by Michael Parks, owner of Parks Superior Sales in Somers, CT with the idea of raffling off a hearse at the 2019 PCS International Meet in Rapid City, SD. Michael has a noteworthy car, a 1989 Eureka Cadillac limousine-style hearse that he felt would be best used to help promote and support The Professional Car Society. He is willing to donate the car to be raffled off at the meet next month, and he will have the hearse transported to Rapid City so meet attendees can see it and the lucky winner can take it home from there.
Some technical information:
The title of the hearse will be transferred directly from Parks to the new owner; PCS does not, and will not, have ownership of the car.
Raffle tickets are $100 each and will only be sold at the meet in Rapid City. Persons must be 18 years of age to purchase and must be present to win.
All ticket proceeds will go to PCS.
Making sure that we had our ducks in a row, Kim and I contacted the proper authorities in South Dakota and learned that we must submit a letter of intent and notarized affidavit in order for the raffle to be authorized and legal. We have completed the process and the raffle is approved. Jeff Hookway will be in receipt of the authorization letter, as we submitted the paperwork with the PCS address.
Gents, Parks Superior is a major supporter of PCS. Not only do they pay for a full page ad in each issue of TPC, they have sponsored the Welcome Reception Luncheon at the SD meet AND donated this hearse. Through my many lengthy conversations with Michael Parks, it is evident this is intended to be a long-term relationship.
Please feel welcome to contact me with any questions. Publicity of the raffle has begun on Facebook, and I have asked Dennis to add this to THE PCS website. I have attached the publicity card.
Looking forward to seeing you in SD next month!
Tony
