Hi Pineneedles - Yes I completely understand. I probably should have added that one of the early decisions RG had to make this year was whether or not to accept "mail order" raffle ticket purchases from folks who wouldn't be able to attend FF. After discussing it quite a bit with several other members, she decided that selling raffle tickets ahead of time could present some real problems. (Pepper tried it several years ago and ran into difficulties.) Also, if someone not in attendance wins a raffle item, someone (RG in this case) would have to then make arrangements to get the item to them, which would likely involve logistics, shipping costs, etc. Not to belabor the point, but I just wanted everyone to know that the advance ticket sale option was considered, but RG decided (with the consensus of the others she discussed it with) that it was just too much of an administrative burden.
BTW, thanks for your generous gift certificate donation toward the raffle!
