Hi, Folks.
I asked the Board if they would be willing to buy some items for X amount of
money and got no reply from anyone at all. I have struck out with all my
emails and phone calls but one, Starizona, and they have not sent me anything
yet, but asked me for my nailing address to send something.
This search is not going well for me at all. I'm happy that Michael has a few
things so we haven't struck out completely. The big companies don't donate,
because they would have to for everyone, and the little guys generally can't
donate.
So, maybe we have to buy some stuff if the board approves? How about it. SAC
Board?

I think your idea of choosing the prize is great. A lot of people end up
with things they don't want or sell later.

Hi Guys,
First, thanks for the help with this years AAMM.
I've been wondering about how to conduct the raffle. The usual method is to
choose an item and pull a ticket out a hat. But how do we chose what items
go first? So the winner is actually getting the choice of the person
conducting the raffle. It's simple. It works. It has an element of the
dramatic...but...
What about letting each winner come up and pick an item of their choice
from
the table? They get to keep it. The items can be on display before the
dinner so everyone gets to see them.
We can keep one item aside as a grand prize and everyone puts one ticket in
the bucket for that item. I would suggest the color photo on canvas of M42.
Hey, it's a Messier Object!
Another way to do this that I've seen is that each item has it's own
bucket.
Each person only puts tickets into the bucket(s) for the item(s) they want.
So yes, you can stuff a bucket will all your tickets if you really want
that
item. Then there is a drawing for each item out of only that item's bucket.
Anyway, just some thoughts on this. I'll bring the raffle hat this year.
Wait 'till you see it.
Pray for clear skies!
Michael
