I woke up so excited to come to work today! Why would I be excited to return to work after a perfect, long holiday weekend?
(my desk this morning)Today is the first day of our raffle journey. Over the next 16 weeks here in the office our phones will be so busy ringing that it will resemble the sound of Vegas slot machines. During these phone calls we will be busy selling tickets to people purchasing hope and the opportunity to dream.
While their ticket purchase is really going to the bottom line here at the Ocean Institute, to help us educate, nurture, and inspire kids, the force driving their purchase is the idea of living in a beautiful home in Laguna Beach with white water views. And for some, it’s the idea of having $1 million dollars in the bank to spend on cars, purses, vacations or pay off debt, pay their mortgage and provide for their families. No matter the motivation for the ticket purchase, we can hear the sound of excitement in their voices. We are just as excited to sell them their ticket because we are OI raffle veterans, and we know their hope is REAL.

(Elizabeth on the phone)Someone is REALLY going to have to choose their dream vacation.
Someone is REALLY going to drive away in a brand new Toyota Prius
Someone is REALLY going to win a million dollars
Children’s lives will REALLY be changed by the funds raised through the raffle
I look forward to this blog serving as a forum for a discussion of hope and dreams and that we can discuss the prizes and opportunities provided through the raffle. I will also be using this blog to post our Flip camera videos featuring local businesses that are supporting the raffle, and giving our viewers special deals. Who doesn’t love a discount?
