Owen Strong Raffle / Seminar

[PaulS]

Bruce, We were trying to come up w/a way to sell raffle tickets to people not attending but logistically it will be tough. I might do it here for a few people but let's wait until the raffle list is finalized. I think participation in the silent auction for people not attending will not be allowed bc of worries about payment as prior charity raffles had issues w/people not paying.

I can't make Saturday for family reasons so I pinged Toby and He sent me the link to the GoFund me page. If you can't make it but want to do something you can donate to Owen at the following link.

Here is a link to an update I just wrote on the fundraiser (http://www.thefisherman.com/index.cf...2&ParentCat=19) which also includes a current list of the donation items as copied below.

For pictures of the items, we have been posting on the event page on Facebook which I do not believe you need to be signed up for Facebook in order to view. https://www.facebook.com/events/116100922388028/

Figure most, but not all of the high end items will be auction. Mid-range plus a sprinkling of high-end will be what we refer to as "sow raffle items" with a moderate per-ticket price. The average items will be "schoolie raffle items" which come with the lowest cost raffle ticket rate.
