[Nfbf-l] What prizes make you buy a raffle ticket?

[Kirk]

Gina, I applaude your energy and desire to create funds for our State 
treasury. Marion, I so agree with your comments from earlier today! It's so 
hard at times to try to do good things without having it come back to bite 
you in the rear end!! I worked in many different organizations, including 
hear in Orlando's chapter, creating fundraising iddeas, and the biggest 
problem I had was apathy upon our members, State and local! It can be 
extremely exhausting creating new fundraising events and then finding 
yourself the only one working them. Then on the  day of the event you might 
get some members come up and ask what can they do to help. I would always 
have to ask myself, where were you all the time I needed you during these 
months of preperation and planning? LOL! Oh well, enough of negative 
attitude, I did however, agree with what you had to say and it was so 
accurate with the topic at hand! Your friend in  the cause,  Kirk
