Spring 2009 Raffle Festool Kapex and More

**McRabbet** · 04-30-2009, 07:48 PM

Well we have just finished our 4th fiscal Quarter Fund Drive. So now is the time to try maximize our income for the whole year. One of our goals this first fiscal year is to leave the Corporation with a reserve. If we do and how much it will be, will depend on how many tickets we can sell, so buy a lot.

Welcome to the 2009 Spring Raffle to benefit the North Carolina Woodworker, Inc. and our website. There are a number of excellent prizes and your $5 ticket gives you a chance at any of them. The more tickets you buy, the better your chances of winning any of the prizes. The drawing will be held at the Spring 2009 Picnic on May 16th and ticket sales will cease at 9:00 AM on Thursday, May 14th.

The Prize Lots have a retail value in excess of $2,400 (in order of selection)

1) A selection of Hardwood Burls contributed by Chris Brittain (liftnaleg1):

2) About 100 BF of 4/4 clear Ash donated by Jack Murdock (Saw4You). These are partially air dried (about 12-14% Moisture Content) and in widths up to 12":

3) A Veritas Standard Block Plane, donated by Lee Valley Tools (includes a Plane Sack, not shown):

4) A Veritas Bullnose Plane, donated by Lee Valley Tools (includes a Plane Sack, not shown):

5) A Lie-Nielsen Bronze Skew Block Plane (right hand), donated by Lie-Nielsen Tools (includes a Plane Sack, not shown). This plane has a removable side plate and adjustable fence for rabbeting. The skewed low angle blade facilitates smooth cutting in hardwoods with difficult grains:

6) A Veritas #4-1/2 Smoothing Plane, donated by Lee Valley Tools (includes a Plane Sack, not shown):

7) A Festool Kapex KS120 Sliding Compound Miter Saw, donated by Klingspor's Woodworking Shop:

Here is a YouTube Video showing some of the features of this fine saw.

The Raffle Process:

All sales will be performed via this Raffle Link which will take you to Paypal. Please remember that you don't have to use or even have a Paypal account. You may use a credit card or even write an electronic check. However, we cannot accept checks or cash directly.
Tickets may be purchased by anyone, including persons not registered on the website, except as noted below.
Please make sure you included your email and phone number with Area Code in your contact info.
Please make sure you include your UserName when asked.
You will get a online receipt from PayPal. Please keep the Transaction ID or order number. Printing the entire receipt would be a good a idea.
The Raffle will close at 9:00 AM 5/14/2009.
You will receive via the email address that you used to make your purchase, your transaction id & a list of raffle ticket numbers, One number per ticket.
The numbers will sent by Noon on 5/15/2009.
ScottM (Scott Miller) will receive a list of all the raffle ticket numbers. He will ONLY receive the list of all numbers. He will NOT receive any other info. He will then make individual paper tickets with those numbers.
On Saturday May 16th, the actual drawing will take place at the Spring Picnic by Steve Coles, Scott and a designated ticket puller.
The first winning ticket will be awarded Lot 1. Additional tickets will be drawn for Lots 2, and so on until the last Lot is awarded. Winners not present will be notified by email or telephone and must arrange prize pickup or pay for shipping. If a winner decides they do not want a prize, a new number will be drawn for that prize.
The following persons are not eligible to enter the Raffle: Steve Coles and Scott Miller.
All proceeds will support the NC Woodworker, Inc.

This whole process was designed so that no information about the raffle is kept on our server. That way only Steve Coles and Scott Miller have any access to the details. That is why they will not participate.

May you all have deep pockets and great luck in supporting this great raffle. In advance, thanks for participating.

How many tickets will you buy, ten could equal a Kapex for 50.00. That is a serious bargain in anyone's eyes. Just think, the more you buy the more chances you have. Come on North Carolina Woodworker, buy those tickets.

Just got mine so y'all don't need to bother

May is my luck month

The first winning ticket will be awarded Lot 1, the ticket will be recorded and returned to the bowl.

Please help me understand this. Why is it necessary for a winning ticket to be returned to the bowl for yet another chance of winning?

Inquiring minds (at least mine) want to know.

That was my error. It was in a draft but I forgot to change it. I will now.

MikeL · 05-01-2009, 09:58 PM

Yeah, this is quite a raffle! There must have been some hard work behind the scenes to put this together.

Now how many tickets will the CFO let me purchase?

Did I miss something or was it on oversight not to include the fact that tickets would be on sale for cash at the pic-a-nic?

I am not sure that they will be for sale then.

I'm guessing that they are closing down the ticket sales before the picnic to keep from having money change hands there. But it's just a guess. Anyway, just buy 'em ahead of time to make sure that you've got 'em.

Reading the explanation of how the ticket numbers are being processed, I would think that sales are being shut down ahead of time so Scott has time to prepare the tickets for the drawing prior to the picnic.
