As most of you know, a severe and dangerous thunderstorm forced us to shut down our MVBS picnic held on August 24, 2025. As a result we did not have a chance to hold the drawing to determine the winner of the 50-50 raffle. We did draw a winning ticket during a Facebook Live Event, and posted the winning ticket both on FB and here. As no one claimed the prize, the MVBS donated the proceeds of the drawing of $133.00 to the Utica Food Pantry.
