Luck of the Draw - Reverse Drawing During Aug BAH

Luck of the Draw - Reverse Drawing During Aug BAH

Here’s your chance to support the MOV Chamber AND be in the running to win $1000!

It’s the Luck of the Draw reverse drawing!

We are thrilled to be bringing back our Luck of the Draw Reverse Drawing in 2021, with a little twist! Our August Business After Hours Host, Parkersburg Art Center, was gracious in allowing us to host our Luck of the Draw Reverse Drawing during their Business After Hours event on August 3!



OK, artists, gather around. Here's the scoop on the Luck of the Draw Reverse Drawing. 

 

How’s this work?

From the first brush stroke of sunlight on July 7 until the sun hits the horizon line on July 30, we will be selling 200 Tickets for $50 each at the Chamber Art Gallery (otherwise known as in this email or over the phone.) 

 

Have a lucky number? 

Select that number on the order form OR just as the name implies, randomly pick one of the ticket numbers for your Luck of the Draw entry. Click REGISTER to confirm your number and the next step is to pay by credit card on-line. Prefer to send your money in via postal mail? That works too – just make sure we receive it before close of business on July 30 to reserve that number. 

Don’t go dodging our art security team - numbers that have been reserved but not paid for by July 30 will be released for final last-minute sales on Saturday, July 31.

 

I have 2 lucky numbers!

Guess what, art creator? You can purchase more than one ticket with all those paintings you have been selling and the paper money you’ve saved up. Or maybe you purchase one, your spouse purchases another, and so on… Please know the money is going to a great cause – YOUR Chamber of Commerce – so your generosity is greatly appreciated! And by getting more than one ticket, you’ve increased your chances of winning. (The only requirement is you must be over 21 to participate.)

 

When will you draw the tickets?

On Tuesday, August 3 at 5:30 pm in the evening, we invite you to join us in person at the Parkersburg Art Center or online via Facebook Live as we draw the numbers. Your goal is to be the last ticket drawn and that ticket holder wins $1000. It's the real deal, no fake art here!

Your luck of the draw ticket will be emailed or postal mailed to you prior to the drawing.

 

What about the rest of the tickets? 

In this situation being the first ticket drawn is not where you want to be, so we will award the first ticket with their $50 investment back. 

The 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th Tickets drawn each receive $60. 
The 60th, 70th, 80th and 90th Tickets drawn each receive $75.

120th ticket will receive $120, 130th ticket will receive $130,

140th ticket will receive $140, 150th ticket will receive $150,

160th ticket will receive $160, 170th ticket will receive $170,

180th ticket will receive $180, 190th ticket will receive $190.

Redistricting Public Meeting

The September Government Relations committee meeting (scheduled for Wed Sept 15) is cancelled so that committee members and all Chamber members are encouraged to attend the West Virginia Legislature's Joint Committee on Redistricting.  Meetings have been held throughout the State over the past 2 months and the session for the Mid-Ohio Valley will be held on Thursday, September 16 from 6pm-8pm at the Judge Black Annex in Downtown Parkersburg.

The two-hour hearings are designed to allow members of the public to weigh in on the plans to redraw the state's electoral map, which is done every 10 years using the most recent census data.    

As a reminder, House Bill 4002 requires WV to join the vast majority of other states that elect delegates from single-member districts for the first time in this cycle.  The current 100 Delegates come from 67 districts, with 22 members elected from 11 two-member districts, 18 legislators elected from 6 three-member districts (Our District 10 falls into this category), 8 legislators are elected from 2 four-member districts, and 5 legislators are elected from a five-member district.  (Information from wvnews.com, 7/25/21) 

At the national level, West Virginia is set to lose one of its three congressional districts in the process as well.  

 

Please RSVP by clicking the link if you are planning to attend the Redistricting Session.
