300 coupons only! All proceeds to support Right Hand Enterprises - the
entire estate was part of a complex bequest. NOT a perfect car, but only a
few minor issues (like one slow window - the passenger front).
If we sell all 300 tickets, it still is less then 50% of insurance value,
but this amount will satisfy the state auditor that can review any charity
for appropriate use of gifts. (we can't give things away without a worthy
cause) and we're busy helping young people and the disabled through our
various agencies. 150 tickets is the minimum (we are not fools) so your
chances may be 1/150 or 1/200 - absolutely the drawing is September 9th.
Driving Miss Daisy was always what we would say when Mrs Bernice would come
to call. She enjoyed being able to get her Arby's meals herself - and rode
in the back like a queen with a uniformed chauffer as the primary driver.
The only other driver during the 3760 miles since she was given use of the
car was her son who is a certified automotive engineer (retired).
Maintenance has been dealer or letter-perfect since new.
Car was plated by the livery service driver so it still carries the original
(and freshly signed/ready to transfer) title. Car will title as correct
mileage and the legal history will make you its third owner - and the first
two were an Uncle/Nephew. Both were retired, so it is literally a museum
piece as far as frequent use (good for the car) but ultra-low Sunday mileage
(this is a Church car - as I'd say 1/2 the miles were back and forth to
Church's and various faith related events.
Worthy charity - a library for youth/history in Paulding County is our
newest effort, we operate a small firm for disabled employees, an at-home
service that employees wheelchair bound people and our core agency, which
provides services for those who are too ill to seek help, or just can't
quite get sober enough/normal enough/happy enough to be accepted at
zero-tolerance modern agencies.
Our core value? Help and change are two different words. Tough Love kills,
but Hard Love is what we offer, and we'll wear the shell of disease or
addiction off a suffering person.
Please - if the car appeals, probate etc. is an unneeded complication and
you will be helping the community. Buy a $10 ticket - or a $100 pack of 11.
PUBLIC drawing supervised by our attorney - if less then 150 tickets are
sold before August 30 we will give you a prompt CASH refund - by US mail.
