Fund Raising Basket?????
Hi Guys,
THe following was posted in the AMP to dirt thread... "Perhaps doing a raffle on a basket or something of the likes is a good idea. Get donated items from various companies.... Maybe we could do up a MAN Basket......Items with a masculine theme....Electronic gadgets, sports, mechanical, etc.... I can get some items through work..swiss army knife, ball cap, perhaps a mag light. Lets see what we can come up with... If we get on the move with this soon we can tap into the xmas raffle season. Every idiot is buying raffle tickets this time of year....We need some of there foolishly spent cash...hehehe" What are your honest opinions on this idea?? I tend to agree with Les and Scott that a truck raffle will not help, the initial cost will Kill us. I would like to go out to AMP this weekend and measure up the area we need to fence in, then some fencing prices and options can be explored. Mike

I will disagree with the truck raffle being a waste of time , who said you have to buy it first. I have run many of raffles before where the item wasnt bought until the money was there to get the prize. Most people know what each kit looks like for that matter once a kit was settled on you could get a few snaps of it and take it along. As for tickets sold at the shop all you would have to do is point to the wall ( it looks like that ). But it sure seems that im wasting my time with this so ill drop it.

Hey guys,
If the time is taken to organize this or other raffles, are you guys going to be willing to sell tickets, or will that be left to a select few? I realize people offer time and construction help, but that is the least of our concerns, we need $$$$$$. Every man worth a pinch of salt can swing a hammer and shovel dirt, we need cash for fencing, a weekend with a truck and backhoe, etc... I want to know who will help out selling tickets, organizing a few sites to set up to sell the tickets. Perhaps we could get Richard to loan us his portable DVD player(and others if they have them) to have some race footage showing at the ticket tables. THe people manning the tables could also bring a truck for show.......ANy other ideas would be nice. My wife mentioned a lottery tree. Everyone in the club donates a $2.00 scratch ticket(or 2 $1.00 tickets) we fix them to a branch and call it a lottery tree and sell tickets on that. THese 2 ideas are low cost to the club, but there needs to be more than 3 people willing to contribute. I know I will help with any and all fundraising efforts and with any and all construction efforts.....lets all step up to the plate and do our part to get a great track built. Mike Coady
