Bonners Ferry Border Patrol Explorers Post 190 will be selling the Valentine’s Day raffle tickets from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, February 10 and 11, at Super 1 Foods, Bonners Ferry. Tickets are six for $5 or $1 each.
The seven Valentine’s Day-themed baskets will be raffled off in order to raise funds that will be used to better enhance the lives of the residents of the Boundary County Restorium.
With the help of the community, Friends of the Restorium have been able to raise about $225,000 over the past 12 years, providing residents with such things as an elevator, a back up generator, a hair care room, and a bathroom remodel with a walk-in tub just to name a few.
Along with the annual Valentine’s Day raffle, it is also that time of year when the Restorium asks people to either renew their membership or become a member of the Friends of the Restorium, which is only $5 annually.
With these membership dues, raffles, the summer BBQ, various donations from local churches, community members and memorial donations, Friends of the Restorium are able to provide residents with a quality life at the center, focusing on their physical and emotional needs.
Winners do not have to be present to win.
