I don't want to leave the forum high-and-dry, so I'm trying to sneak in some phonecalls and emails to find some sponsors for the bash when I come in to warm up from working outside.
I'll post the prizes here as they come, and caution that it won't be as great an effort as I've been able to contribute in years past...but I'll get the ball rolling and do my best with the meagre time I have available!

cnccutter - two clocks with the IAP logo engraved in them and maybe some text around the edge about the birthday bash. maybe 12" +- across... what ever I can fit in a flat rate box.I'd guess the clocks would be worth $45 each + the post.
