Joe,
Feel free to run with the idea. Just for info, one of the stipulations is that if the winner does not make it to the monthly club meeting then that months dessert goes into the monthly raffle. The response was so good on this idea that some of the members were plotting on how to keep the winner away from the club meetings so they would have a chance to win.
I decided that in order to keep harmony within the club, I would bring two desserts to each meeting. One for the yearly dessert raffle winner and one for the raffle table at each meeting. Now maybe our club president will feel safe coming to the meetings.
