WESTPORT CONDO RAFFLE TICKETS

Be the Next Lucky Winner!

I was the lucky recipient of the 2015 ESU raffle ticket prize for Jay and Suzy Wakefield's Westport Condo, which I used over Labor Day Weekend. My first and only previous trip to Westport has been 40+ years ago, so I was interested in a return visit.

The Wakefield's condo is in a building which is part of a complex a short distance out of town, just a short walk over the dunes to the water-and close to a land based lighthouse! Perfect for a couple, it contains one bedroom, a bathroom off the hall and one off the bedroom, and living/dining kitchen area. There is a small
patio, all very nice! An outdoor swimming pool is also part of the complex open during the summer months. A marvelous bicycle trail, or a drive, leads one to town, where the beach faces Gray's Harbor, rather than the ocean, a different experience. I also loved looking at the many, many boats at the marina. Fishing is a big deal at Westport.

Lucky for us, the Wakefields have again offered their condo in support of our scholarship program. Anyone interested in going to Westport or spending some time at the ocean should definitely buy raffle tickets at one of our upcoming ESU events, prior to the drawing at our May AGM. If you don't win, you will have donated to a good cause!
