Just think. You could win one of these goodies and two days later become a legend in someone’s life. Or, if there’s no one that special, you could just give yourself the ultimate Valentine. You know you deserve it!
If you want to buy a chance (they’re a mere $25 per or $100 for five), you can’t buy them online, at the grocery story or even Stanley Korshak. Nope. They’ll only be available at the St. V-Day patron party this Wednesday or at the luncheon itself.
