Hello, Hello, Hello!!!!!

Thanks to all for the support so far!!!!!!

In addition to all of the wonderful prizes you have heard about so far, it is true! Jeff Powell(Workinforwood) has graciously added a magnificent prize as well. Jeff is offering his "Cube-bits blank and completely finished and lined matching case"!!! How SUPER COOL is that!!!!! it can be viewed here:

http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49891&referrerid=6461

It is the item at the top of the page.

The Herringbone blank is made of Honduran Rosewood, Maple and Walnut. It started out as 150 pieces all 1/8" thick.

As Cav has said, these are truly ALL first place prizes!!! I know that personally I would be pleased as punch to have any one of them!

This fundraiser is meant for a great cause. Let's help to support this fabulous forum where we all get to come together and share, learn, laugh and care! What a wonderful place indeed!!!

I'm in! Should this also be posted in the Fundraising forum as well? Just wondering.

Freddie,

You perhaps make a good point. I use this forum as I have Moderator permissions in it. I always announce and push the event on the CC forum. I hope everyone finds it.

There are already a pile of PayPal notices in my box. After I make a town run (payday was last night at midnight!) I will start a ticket buyer list.

BTW: :biggrin:

PLEASE PUT YOUR IAP USERNAME ON YOUR PAYPAL INVOICE!!!!

John, let me second what Steve posted. We can always use another Prize.

Post photos when you can, and if you will email them to me (my Paypal address is my email) and I will add the photo(s) to my original post.

Thanks for your generosity. The only bad thing about running these events is that I am ineligible for prizes. :frown: :)
