      Moriarty Extends Chevy Fundraiser
       The Moriarty High athletic department's Chevy Truck Raffle Fundraiser has been extended. The drawing will now be held on May 20 at 7 p.m. at John B. Salvo Gym.
       According to a news release from Moriarty athletic director Joe Butler, the goal of the fundraising effort is to garner $50,000 to support the school's athletic department operating budget for the 2008-09 school year. Raffle tickets, at a cost of $10 each — $80,000 gross, $50,000 net after expenses — will be on sale until the drawing.
       Butler said Tuesday that the raffle is going well with $30,000 worth of tickets having been sold. That will cover the underlying cost of the event so, he said, “The rest will be for the kids.”
       The first-place prize will be a 2008 Chevy Colorado, four-wheel-drive club-cab pickup, which was provided at cost by Tillery Chevrolet in Moriarty. Other prizes include a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle, $2,000 in furniture, and two 42-inch flat-screen TVs.
       For information, call 823-5951.
