Thanks

Why??

I'm sure that the number of entrants and total amount of $$$ raised will be disclosed at the end of the raffle. Many people who donate money to charity don't want to have it published on the web...so I don't believe that the names should be displayed.

Chris,
I received this message in an e-mail this morning??
I still want in, do I need to send a check or redo my PayPal payment.
I did send it in before the issue arose then resolved w/ Paypal, is that maybe the issue?
No biggie either way, let me know.
Thanks
Pat

Just wanted to see the odds and get a confirmation of being in. With the paypal issues I just want to check if it went threw. Like Pat said he had his returned.

[Our Compromise]

I just mailed a check for three chances. Thanks for the opportunity to participate and to contribute to a great cause.

[Chris]

Pat- you'll have to redo yours.

Everyone else- If you didn't get the e-mail from Paypal it went through.

While we have a bunch of entries so far, we still haven't covered Alec's contribution. And that's short-changing the kids this thing is benefitting. If you're looking at this from the perspective of getting involved with something fun and tossing in a few bucks to make it interesting and maybe scoring a prize, that's cool. If you only want to do it if the ROI analysis looks strong, there are better investments.

The odds here are WAY better that the gazillion-to-one state lottery and the karma is WAY better than your dinner bar tab.

Welcome, about time we see you here.....

[Spicy]

Pat- you'll have to redo yours.

Not a problem.... doing it now for three tickets. Thanks

[Spicy]

Chris I apologize, I think this was my fault... as I just re did it I see where the future and the past got mixed together in that small brain of mine....

This place is called Serious Offshore not Serious Offshoreonly!!!!! doh..

Either way I'm in, and Thanks again to Alec for your generous gift!!!!!

Fair enough. I'm sure that we'll provide a number of entries for those of you that like to calculate your odds!!
