Maybe you could put separators in there so we can keep track of the new ones!?
I take it that’s $10 American??
Yes, that is correct. The funds need to be in American dollars.
I am adding the donations in order of receipt. That’s how to keep track of the new ones. 
If anyone out of America and not familiar with PayPal wants raffle tickets, I can take your credit card info (in regular e-mail or over the phone - but know that I am in the Eastern Standard Time - EST - zone). It will be $10.50 per chance.
ìf there are new donations added how then do I keep track.
can someone please send me the proper link?
thanks

Shouldn’t be a problem. Paypal will accept most currencies and convert them to dollars. Add a note to Jessie in the space provided by PayPal, saying how many tickets you’re buying.
ok, great, next question. What is Pay pal, and how does one use it???
I know I know ..stupid noob but hey we all start somewhere eh
how bout making this a sticky topic, or something along those lines, so people can check without having to search?
Dang,
This is going to be an awesome raffle. I’ll definately be buying at least a couple of tickets when I’ve got my credit-card handy. Last time Dale had a big raffle I won an uilleann pipes chanter!
Wicked!

Paypal provides a way to exchange money electronically. The site is:
https://www.paypal.com/
To use it, a person needs to go to the above link and register, and then send money via bank transfer, credit card or Paypal balance transfer. Those that do not want to jump through that hoop can contact Jessie via email to get her address in order to mail her a check of money order to purchase tickets ($10 USD per raffle ticket)
Jessie has been updating the first post in the thread with new donations listed as they come in, and now also the number of tickets purchased. For those reading this post, click on the “1” below and it will take you to the first set of posts. The prize list as of this writing is enough to make most whistle players drool.

Thanks, Bill. I have answered everyone’s questions in posts in this thread (except how to join PayPal, because if people don’t want to, I can take credit cards outside of paypal for the same price as PayPal credit card payments - just contact me).
And as Bill said, I am constantly updating the first post in this thread with new donations.
It’s so easy to buy a ticket, and there are some amazing whistles on the list. If…I mean, when…I win, I’m going to have to ask for advice on which one to pick.
I will gladly offer advice on which to pick.
YOu get to pick? Like, the first ticket holder gets first pick and so fourth?
Wow.
Yes, as I stated in the first post, the first winner gets to pick, the second winner gets to pick from those that remain, and so on.
This is what Dale did with his charity raffle several years ago. I think it’s a great idea. I just hope all the winners get back to me in a timely fashion so I won’t have the baby before all the prizes are sorted out.
You have my email address, in case i win a raffle for the first time in my life!
Good luck, Glauber!
One way to possibly expedite this is to have the runner ups draw up a preference list. Some people know exactly what whistle he/she wants with alternates. Using this method, the second prize winner, if sure of their preferences indicates a first choice and a second choice via email. The third prize winner, three choices in order of preference, and so on, with the fifth place winner listing five. This saves time compared to going back and forth via email. Of course some winners may still take time choosing, but some may know exactly.
As the date of the drawing gets closer and the prize list firms up, a useful thread (or use this one to keep it bumped up high) would be some of the veterans listing their top five or seven whistles on the prize list and why. I think it is too early to start into that right now because there may be a few more additions to the prize list when the CF email newsletter goes out to 3000 people. However, in a couple of weeks it will be fun to see the differing opinions.

Good ideas, Bill!
Jessie, my husband the system manager really doesn’t want us to use PayPal (I know, I know, but it’s his computer too 
) , but I’d like to participate. Any way to send a check or something to contribute to the cause?
