NEPMA Conducting $10,000 Scholarship Raffle

CONCORD, NH – The New England Pest Management Association (NEPMA) is conducting its first-ever raffle campaign as an annual fund-raising event for the association’s Mark Weintraub Scholarship. A grand prize of $10,000 will be awarded to one lucky winner.

The Mark Weintraub Scholarship was created in 1993 and is awarded annually to the child of one NEPMA member (or of an employee’s immediate family in New England) who is pursuing a post-secondary education. To date the association has awarded scholarships to 13 students.

The scholarship is named after Mark Weintraub who was president of the New England Pest Control Association from 1938-1940 and was both a regional and national industry leader.

Raffle tickets are currently on sale for $100 each and will be available until the association sells a total of 300 tickets. NEPMA will conduct the raffle drawing during evening festivities including a buffet dinner for ticket holders and guests to be held on Friday, November 2, 2007, at the Peabody Holiday Inn, Peabody, Mass. Other prizes will also be awarded during the event.

Tckets are available for purchase from any NEPMA board of director member or from the association’s executive offices located in Concord, NH by calling 866-386-3762. A raffle form is available on the group’s website, www.nepma.org, under the Calendar of Events area.
