Chapel Center Treasure Sale and Restaurant Raffle

Barbara Reiss

The Sun Lakes Chapel Board is having its 10th annual Treasure Sale plus a Restaurant Raffle. The top prize for the Restaurant Raffle is dinner for two at seven different restaurants. There will be at least 12 winners of multiple dinners for two.

The Treasure Sale will be held on Friday, November 21 from 7:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 22 from 7:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. It will be held at the Chapel Center in Sun Lakes Country Club. The Treasure Sale is a place where you can get a bargain on almost anything. The selection of items is enormous and the prices are ridiculously low. Items run from furniture to knickknacks and all are priced to sell. If you cannot find what you want at this sale, it probably does not exist.

If you have items to donate please leave them in the back porch of the Chapel Center; or if they are too large for you to move, call Butch at 480-883-7095 or Marty at 480-835-7766 and they will arrange help for you. Please no clothing, large TVs or other large electronics or appliances.

We will also be having our fourth annual Restaurant Raffle. The raffle has a first prize of dinner for two at seven different restaurants. Second prize is dinner for two at five different restaurants and third prize is dinner for two at four different restaurants. There will be 12 prize winners or more in all. The raffle winners will be drawn at the Treasure Sale on November 22 at 1:00 p.m.

The Treasure Sale will have really great items for sale that are donated by the people in the greater Sun Lakes area. All the money from both of the events will go to the maintenance of the Sun Lakes Chapel and the Chapel Center which hosts four congregations: the Sun Lakes Community Church, the Sun Lakes Jewish Congregation, the Sun Lakes Lutheran Church and the Sun Lakes United Church of Christ.

The restaurants who generously became part of this are (in alphabetical order): Abuelo’s, Asian Grill Restaurant, Black Angus, Chase Diner, Cheddars, Chompie’s, Crowne Plaza, Elephant Bar, Fiesta Mexicana, Floridino’s, Iron Oaks, Keegan’s, Kona Grill, Majerle’s, Native New Yorker, Old Spaghetti Factory, Pita Souvli, Red Robin, RigaTony’s, Silk True Asian, Sweet Tomatoes, Tao Garden, Uncle Bear’s and Village Inn.

Raffle tickets are $1 each, seven tickets for $5, 15 tickets for $10 or 35 tickets for $20. They can be purchased from congregation members or call 480-802-3281. Raffle tickets will be sold at Safeway at 4970 S Alma School November 1, 7 and 8 from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

You cannot win unless you buy a ticket. So be sure to get yours before 1:00 p.m. on November 22 at the Treasure Sale. You do not have to be present to win.
