CHARITY RAFFLE

We know, we just finished telling you the schwag raffle would be free - but then the light bulbs went on... Why not make it a charity raffle?

The overall response has been a resounding 'YES'. So we're doing it!

Please, take the time to answer our poll and let us know what price point you would be willing to donate to charity. Because all raffle items have been donated, 100% of the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to a charitible organization. This year, we have chosen two that will share the funds equally - the National MS Society and AIDS/LifeCycle. We hope you all participate and help us make this a worthy cause.
