Who have we got on the plate to donate raffle items this year? Who's handling this?

Anyone interested in offering up new or gently used prizes?

Good job kid.

[Sideshow]

Yes, good job and thanks a lot. Just curious, how do you normally approach sponsors or vendors to donate? Do you just ask them? What's your presentation?

[Mc2KXJ]

He shows up with a gun and politely asks them as he lifts his shirt to expose the holster.

Again, sorry about that Rich. ;)




















I've actually been sending some companies emails, calling a few on the phone, and approaching local businesses in person. Ideally if I had more time I would be calling all the vendors personally. I'll make the suggestion for next year though to form a "raffle committee" and have at least two people making calls to companies explaining a little about our event. One guy can get the job done, but for a bigger and better raffle two people would be ideal.

JKS has donated a gift certificate to your event. I have been in the field and did not have time to get them in the mail on time.

Please add this prize to your raffle. I over nighted them to the NAXJA address in CO today.

Once they are received whoever gets that mail needs to forward them on to the winner.

I'll be leaving Tuesday morning, so I may or may not receive it in time. Either way though, I'll add it to the list and be sure the winner receives it.

If you guys think about it, try to drop the companies a quick message thanking them for the prizes and supporting our event. I know they would love to hear an update on where their product goes, and what you plan on doing with it.
