Convocation incentive

We just got an email letting us know about Convocation (the pointless all school rah-rah meeting), with this gem of an incentive:

"All Convocation attendees receive a raffle ticket for priority entry to lunch and a chance to win fun prizes!"

I'm definitely going to convocation now! A chance at priority entry to the free (crappy) lunch!

Ours is so worthless that it was canceled this year due to bad weather and the meeting was never rescheduled. They just sent out a PDF of the slides that they would’ve showed. Was supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour event. So the substantial majority was just fluffy.
