Wow! That's impressive, Amy. I'm ready to buy some tickets! :D

[sophisticated sissy]

Cool stuff, Amy! Quite an inventory. You've done a super job, girl. Can't wait for the raffle to start!

[Lester_leaps_in]

Could someone please tell me what this raffle is all about? I'd surely appreciate it.

[saturn]

Amy (AmyWinette) and her husband Jeff are the main forces behind the Threadhead raffle, which is planned in conjunction with the patry to benefit NOMC. (See www.threadheads.org)

Many fine prizes have been donated (as you can see from the list). The raffle, which will be up and running soon, is conducted entiredly online. Jeff and Amy then arrange the draw for winners and arrange for the prize to be delivered/picked up.

Last year, they did this for the first time and raised a lot of money for NOMC.

Kudos to Amy and Jeff for the work they do on this. :)

[rosetree]

WOW Amy and Jeff!!!! This is great.....All my stuff is there! :D ;)

[Lester_leaps_in]

Amy (AmyWinette) and her husband Jeff are the main forces behind the Threadhead raffle, which is planned in conjunction with the patry to benefit NOMC.

Thanks, Saturn. And, nice going Amy and Jeff.

What's the connection with the Patry? I won't be attending (Bummer!). Can I still participate in the raffle?

[ozzie]

Thanks, Saturn. And, nice going Amy and Jeff.

Of course! Sorry you're missing the patry but that doesn't mean you miss out on all the fun! Details of how to get tix for the raffle items will be up soon and if you're a lucky winner you can then arrange how to collect/receive your prizes.

[pokerchick66]

I see a cool Threadhead Cookbook I got my eye on. :)

[swag]

Thanks, Saturn. And, nice going Amy and Jeff.

What's the connection with the Patry? I won't be attending (Bummer!). Can I still participate in the raffle?

Both benefit NOMC. Winners can pick up prizes at the Patry.

But anyone can participate in the raffle. If you won't be at the Patry, but will be in town after thru 2nd weekend, you can pick up prizes then. If not, then prizes can be shipped.

[festivalgirl]

We're travelling Tuesday so no patry :( but I always love a good raffle!!!! :D

[stynger]

Great job Amy and Jeff!

[VWGal]

Wow, what a list! My stuff is all there and will be on its way to Jenn in NOLA next week! Get out your wallets everyone! There's several things I am interested in...

[Belle]

So its a true raffle not a bidding thing? Either way count me in!!

[swag]

So its a true raffle not a bidding thing? Either way count me in!!

Yup, a true raffle. You can increase your chances by buying more tickets, but you only need one ticket and some luck to win.

Where it differs from some charity raffles is that you buy tickets specifically for those items that interest you. So there will be over 100 different ticket types you can buy - no wonder it's taking us so long! But this system means you won't win stuff you can't use, like tickets for shows that you won't be in town for, and increases your chances for the stuff you really do want.

[Belle]

That is a very cool twist on the raffle, picking your items!!! Love this. I will donate next year. i do gourd art and would make something very cool in a fest theme.

You all are so great!!

[mightyradgumbo]

The items I donated are certainly there and additional kudos to Amy and Jeff for their work on this.
Also, kudos to y'all who donated items-what a fantastic list-looks like I will be dropping a bundle on this one-hey even if I don't win anything it goes to a good cause.
That would be a win-lose situation I can live with ;) However I did win a cool little book that I pick up every now and again even though I did read it cover to cover on the way home last year, so I am looking to extend my winning streak.

[NYMAMA]

Many Many thanks Amy and Jeff. You guys have done a terrific job. The threadhead nations bows to you.

[ibjamn]

Amy & Jeff ROCK!!!

[ohio]

Everyone who worked on this project deserves a big round of applause! It was a true group effort including all those Threadheads and companies who donated such fabulous items. Please show your appreciation by spreading the word far & wide! This is a great cause and we want our hard work to pay off BIG! Thanks everyone!

[grisgris]

Thank you to everybody involved in putting on this raffle, setting up the site & donating to it. And thanks to everybody that is going to donate to this really great cause.

[Azeater]

You forgot to include the around the world trip on the QEII that I donated. I assume it was an inadvertant oversight.

[Amy Winette]

[glinda]

Absolutely AMAZING LIST!!!! Much gratitude to all the many wonderful people who are working so hard to make this happen. Y'all rock!

[Amy Winette]

Hey Gang, Swag is going to kill me if I ask to add anything else to the raffle at this point (I guess that stuff is pretty hard to code) and we've got well over 100 prizes already, so any future donations will be for the 2008 raffle) :) We're just in the final phases of double checking everything on the website and as of now expect to launch TOMORROW!! :)

And may I add that we'll need everybody's help in publicizing it! Post it all the boards, etc. you participate in that may have an interest in NOLA/Music related stuff. Send the link to all your friends! Be creative! Help us get the word out and raise LOTS of money for NOMC this year! :D
