:wsmile: It is time for our annual Spring Raffle! :wsmile:
The North Carolina Woodworker, Inc. is a non-profit corporation, so each year we must raise funds to support our website, our workshops, our booths at woodworking events and other member educational activities. While we rely and appreciate all member and friend donations, we also approach many vendors to contribute to our Raffles twice each year to raise additional funds. All of us win in this relationship, our vendors get to showcase their products and services; our members can win great prizes and the Corporation can raise needed funds.
Thanks to the generosity of many vendors, we have assembled an impressive group of prizes this spring that sets a record for the number of winning Lots we will award (18 in all) and whose combined value exceeds $4,600. With a $5 ticket, you can win prizes up to $1,350 in value -- and if you buy more tickets (buy as many as you want!), you'll have increased chances to win. Online and Mail-in ticket sales end on May 11th, but sales and the drawing will be held at the Picnic May 14th (winners do not need to be present to win).
Featured prizes are a Rikon 14” bandsaw, a JET 1442 VSK Midi-Lathe, two $100 Gift Certificates from Eagle American, a Kreg Tools K4 Pocket Hole Jig, $500 tuition credit for Woodworking Instruction at Gregory Paolini Studios, a Lee Valley Veritas© Bullnose plane, a Lee Valley Veritas© No. 6 Fore Plane, a Lee Valley Veritas© Low-Angle Block Plane, a 24” precision T-Square and Saw Gauge from Woodpeckers, four seats in forthcoming one-day workshops of each winners choice at Roy Underhill’s Woodwright’s School in Pittsboro, a Kreg Deck Jig, and a pair of carbide tipped mini lathe tools – a Ci2m Mini-Rougher and a Ci3m Mini-Finisher – from Easy Wood Tools. We thank all of the vendors for their generosity in providing these excellent tools to help NC Woodworker, Inc. to meet our long-term goal of keeping this website available free to area woodworkers. We are holding out one additional mystery prize from Lie-Nielsen Woodworks to award at the picnic to a 19th ticket selected.
Downloadable copies of the Prize Descriptions, the Official Rules and a Mail-In Form are found in the Download Library, but I have provided links here. NCWoodworker.net now has fully encrypted and secure credit card processing so we can safely handle transactions.
You can buy your Raffle tickets online using the secure link we have provided. This takes you to our secure Raffle Ticket Purchase Page. Just look for this item:
If you prefer to mail in your purchase, download and fill in the Mail-In Form (print legibly) and send it with your check (no cash), but allow time to mail it so it is received by the closing deadline. Good luck to everyone -- sadly the members of the current Board of Directors are not eligible to win. If you have questions or need more information, please send an email to me at drawinginfo@ncwoodworker.net.
GOOD LUCK!
