The Seventh Annual Birthday Bash is quickly approaching. For those of you that don't know, we celebrate the anniversary of the IAP forum going public in February of each year.
To celebrate this event, we host a Bash during the month of February. This Bash has trivia, contests, drawings, and serves as the annual fundraiser for the site to keep it running for the year.
As the Vendor Liaison for the IAP, one of my main duties is to find prizes for these events. We have many generous vendors who have sponsored some nice prizes, but with the number of contests, there are always some gaps to fill.
Now I really don't want anyone to think that they have to donate anything. We have a lot of prizes, and we'll do just fine. That being said, every year I get a few people who ask to donate prizes once the bash has started. To preserve what little is left of poor Ed Brown's sanity, I thought I'd give those people a chance to donate in advance of the event, so we can close out donations in late January.
So if you have a prize you're sitting on that you'd like to donate to an event, please let me know. We ask that it have a value of $25 or more, however, so that each contest gets a fair shake at prizes.
You can PM me with a description of your prize and the approximate value, and we'll assign it to a contest. Remember that this is an international forum, so you may be asked to ship your prize overseas, so please keep that in mind when considering whether to donate.
Remember, your only requirement is to have fun during the bash - there is no requirement to donate prizes to it, so please don't feel pressured into donating anything.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew Jordan
