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.

Thanks Paul, I just found out I have been selected as one of four contractors that will be invited to bid on this years community action/HUD funded grants program. I work closely with our local administrator and would be happy to help out any way I can.

The plan is to sell 200 tickets. The Tramex Raffle started on 3/12 and in five days we sold the last ticket. The drawing was held on the 17th. With the laptop being a much higher value prize we upped the ticket ceiling at 200. Based on what I've seen so far in replies and emails we're above the quarter point plus. If the sales match the ratio of the Tramex the last ticket should be sold in about a week or so.

If I would have been a little quicker in getting things put together we could have had some one pull the winner at convention. I tried, but just couldn't get it pulled together fast enough. I really expect by this time next week we should have the last ticket sold and the winner announced.

UNOFFICIALLY we have sold 60 tickets so far. Right on schedule and in the same time frame. My data is old and I dont know what's happened today.

I'm feeling good so I am going to toss in a few more goodies. Like the Tramex, we will offer up second place prize of a Foundation T shirt AND a 12 oz can of medium roast Kona Coffee beans from Trader Joe's. If you like coffee you'll love the Kona. The T shirt comes from Queenboro, so the quality high. Third place will be one can of Kona.

Again, thanks to all thats participate and those of you who might be thinking about a new laptop. Come on and take a chance or Michael just might win it all Also remember we all get old and when we get old things go. The knee's go, the food tolerance goes, the memory goes and the hearing goes. Heck we might get an application from some one on this board.

Wow, I love that stuff!
and have you described me to a T or what?!
A 55-year old, T-shirt wearing, coffee drinking, home inspector!

I just bought 3. Good causes are always welcome to my money (hell, the Gov't just takes it anyway!)

[Jimmy Levy]

I took 2 chances. Glad to help!

[ROBERT W. NEWLAND, JR.]

In for two. Thanks

[Paul Sabados]

Thanks guys. We should just about be at the mid way point(at least I hope). With a little more looks at the website and a bump or two we should be able to finish up sometime next week. Right now Im just the cheerleader along for the ride.

Each and every ticket bought definately helps. You can help for the cause, or you can help with trying to win the laptop. Whatever the reason, you can feel good, because you're helping to make some who can't afford a basic safety item, which we take for granted, safer. It could be someone in your own neighborhood.

Thanks all

How many do you have left Paul?

[Ted Allen]

I just purchased a few.
Please let me know if you folks received my donation.

[Paul Sabados]

Whoa Todd, Thank you very much.

We are past the mid point. We should be able to get the drawing done around the end of the week.

Blaine should have the new ticket purchase numbers out sometime tomorrow.

And we should have some pretty exciting news to announce very shortly.

The roller coaster left the station and traveled up the big hill. This is one of those old fashion ones on a chain. The last car went over the top and now all you can hear is the WHOOM! from the wheels.

My count is at 135, its unofficial, we're on target to finish this week, unless everyone goes on vacation sooner than I thought. Some pretty exciting news coming up shortly too

BTW, you people around Sandusky have all the fun in the summer. http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/

And remember, keep your hands and feet inside of the ride at all times. Remove all loose fitting hats and glasses, and hold onto any small objects. Have a nice ride
