Foundation Laptop Raffle

[Paul Sabados]

The Foundation was presented with a very nice Toshiba laptop to aid us in our fund raising efforts 15.4 widescreen with all the buzzers and bells. This will also be a limited ticket raffle, only 200 tickets will be sold. So here is a real opportunity to bring home a very nice piece of equipment, for work or play and to help us to order in more alarms to shorten our waiting list.

Like the Tramex raffle we will keep everyone posted and make sure that your numbers get back to you in a timely fashion. This is an open raffle to all.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me, either PM, email or phone

Thanks again

Just purchased 7 tickets.
If for some reason you can't sell all the tickets e-mail me and I will purchase the remaining tickets.

[Peter C. Russell]

I just bought 5, good fund raiser and I'm glad to help out.

[W. Michael Chris]

Paul,

Maybe we need to come back and post a note to bring this thread back to the top of list - purchased 5 tickets - glad I could help out.

[Paul Sabados]

Thanks you all for taking a shot at the raffle. I dont know what the sale count is currently. Gary takes the Paypal info and Blaine will be assigning the ticket numbers to everyone and emailing them out. We will keep a countdown running so everyone knows how the progress is going. Just a guess though, I think we already reached somewhere around 20-25% of the goal.

Peter, we've been working with the Fire Dept in Barre City and helping them out a bit and talking with Lt. Ashe. Chris, I don't know if you're close to Rio Rancho, but John Francis the DPS spokesman made contact with us in regards to a rescue of a hearing impaired elderly lady. If we work a program similar to San Antonio in any of these cities, I will make an attempt to make contact with you guys. Mario, thanks for the offer, hopefully that won't be necessary. I will make sure that John Bowman makes contact with you at Convention and thanks you personally.

We have a irons in the fire that need to be hammered and shaped. These small raffles help us bring in the needed funds to get alarms, pay the postage and pay for the paperwork. I would also like to let everyone know that I have been in contact with Justin Habbershaw the upcoming Eagle Scout helping him with his project. The lad is very energetic, has a mission to fulfill, developed a support cast of helpers and is well on the way to helping the citizens of Davidson MI to live and sleep a little safer. Who knows he could be my replacement in a few years.

If anyone would be interested in delivering out an alarm to one of our applicants or meeting with the local fire dept or local services group, let me know. Also if anyone knows of a hearing impaired or death person needing an alarm let me know.

Again, thanks everyone for stepping up

Paul

[Blaine Wiley]

I'm having some issues getting the emails that should be straightened out later today (after inspections). I should have the numbers out to everyone who has already purchased tickets by tonight. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks to everyone who is supporting this raffle, it is truly a worthy cause that could possibly save a life!!

I would be more than happy to deliver any alarms and install them in N.E. Ga. and/or meet with the local fire departments if you have some info to give them. Ken

What a great offer. Everyone will be a winner no matter what.

Thanks Paul

[Paul Sabados]

Peter, we really appreciate and respect the work that the fire dept people do for the public, including the vols, they usually have their work cut out for them in terms of older equipment. If you run into another situation like you had last year let me know.

Michael, you could be right, I don't see tickets though. Thanks Greg, might be down your way later in the year, will give you call when in town.

Paul

[Steven C. Waskewicz]
