serious meteorites. Buy more tickets!
Thanks for the work Geoff, you prove once again that you are truly a caring

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Raffle Major Update
Dear Friends and Listees:
Greetings all. I have just completed a major update to our 2005 Meteorite
Charity Raffle project, and I think you will all be surprised by the
quality, quantity, and ingenuity of these prizes. Newest additions have
been placed at the top of the page for ease of viewing. We will shortly be
breaking the prizes up into groupings: First Prize, Second Prize, etc.
There will be MULTIPLE prizes awarded.
I have also received a kind offer of numerous smaller items, which we will
not have time to list on the site, but we will use them to make sure that
as many people as possible go home with a nice meteorite memento from our
charity raffle. Thanks to Steve Arnold IMB for organizing that.
Here is the updated prize page:
http://www.aerolite.org/meteorite-raffle.htm
In addition, a few especially rare and collectible items have been offered
to the project, and we are considering a series of special auctions on
Ebay for those donated items, after the Denver show. More on that later.
If someone would like to volunteer to help with Ebay sales, please let me
know.
I will have to stop accepting raffle prizes within the next couple of
days. If you have something you'd like to donate, please don't delay (last
minute additions may be accepted but will not appear on the website).
Ticket sales continue. PLEASE NOTE: The cut-off date for ticket sales is
Monday, September 12. If I have not received your payment by that date,
you will not be eligible to participate in the prize drawing, sorry. We
will try to accommodate last-minute cash ticket sales during the Denver
Show, but I am making no promises. Payments can be made through PayPal
(use link on raffle page), or you can mail personal checks (made out to
the "American Red Cross" please) to me at:

Anne Black of the Denver COMETS has kindly offered to receive prizes by
mail, on our behalf in Denver. She will post her mailing address shortly.
Blaine Reed has kindly offered to display prizes in his room during the
Denver Show. We suggest that our friends in Europe who have donated prizes
do not mail them at this time. We will ask you to mail prizes directly to
the winners, following the drawing.
As of today, you have raised more than $2,300 for the Red Cross. Hats off
to everyone who pitched in.
More news when I have it : )
Best to all,
Geoff N.
