Librería Caliope is not only one of the last surviving Spanish-language bookstores in all of New York City (and one of the only places in the USA to get Dominican Republic books that are not available at Amazon.com or anywhere else), but it is also a cultural institution and gathering place, a vital resource to the Dominican and Hispanic communities of Washington Heights and beyond, as is evident from the many tributes referenced just below.
The winning numbers were:
third prize, # 1235, claimed by Ramón Garrido,
second prize, # 3207, claimed by Bernardo Rodríguez,
first prize, # 0389, was not claimed since the ticket was returned by Nandy Tatis without having been sold.
Since there was no first-prize winner, we have decided to have another raffle. The new drawing will be Sunday August 2nd on the same program at the same time (10:00pm). There will be a new prize, two prepaid credit cards, each with value of $350.
ALL TICKETS ARE VALID FOR THE NEW DRAWING
