2017 raffle??!?!! Whos in?

Post by Doug »

I was thinking of organizing another raffle. I don't think we've had one since 2014, so its about time! Is there enough interest out there to organize one?! We need to pay the yearly site bill, and this may be a good way to facilitate that. Usually we'll get some BMW-specific vendors to donate parts or things to the cause, then we raffle them off - membership signups/renewals gain one ticket, lifers gain three. Usually the odds of winning something are quite good! :)

If anyone has suggestions for new vendors I should contact, let me know, and if anyone wants to help get vendors on board, let me know that too.

Thanks all, and Happy Holidays!!

I would support this. Members might have a "never used" item that they wish to donate also. just a thought

I'm in. I can also think of one vendor who might contribute. I've got a good relationship with Frontline Eurosports in Salem, Va. I will probably be down there in the next week or two. I will also send an email to the owner. They contributed some pretty expensive prizes to the Bash we had here in Staunton two years ago. I'll see what I can do.

Kinda landing late to the 'party' but would support (with my limited financial but very enthusiastic view) this kind of endeavor.
Sort of feel a bit off the edge of the R1150R.net world out here on the left coast but support I will.
