riazp Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 Great to hear Anthem! Remember guys, you have about 4 weeks left to get the money to me to confirm your presence. Please do so a.s.a.p!
Puros Y Vino Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Donations eh? Alright then. I'll put together a sampler as well to donate. And like Art, details to be revealed at the herf. Riaz, organize these raffles to maximize the donations. We need to beat the TO herf amount!
Lotusguy Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Saw you guys discussing raffle versus auction in the shoutbox. I think a raffle would be much better. If it's an auction, only the high rollers will be able to participate while in a raffle even the poorest BOTL can still get his one ticket and have a chance to win. My 2 cents.
