Beginning tomorrow night, I will raffle off a whistle of the winner’s choice on the Serpent Music website. Before that happens, I’d appreciate it if someone here, preferably someone who doesn’t particularly want one, would volunteer to act as raffle manager.
I will set up a “Raffle Ticket” button on the serpentmusic.com website. Tickets will be $5USD each, and will be sequentially numbered. You will be informed as to which numbers you hold by email. Ticket sales will be handled at PayPal. All funds received will be donated to The Hunger Site.
The raffle will terminate at one minute after midnight, CST, Christmas Eve 2002.
I do hope someone will volunteer to actually do the drawing.
Thanks,
Bill Whedon
More details please, Bill. All things being equal, I’ll be glad to do it if I can. If I have to be at Serpent Music in person for the drawing, just send round trip airfare for two from Albany to…
Sorry for the lack of detail. Duties of the Raffle Manager:
Hand out the numbers (I will forward all entries to you)
Using little slips of paper, a RNG, big spinning wheel, numbered balls, whatever, do the actual drawing.
Notify the board of the winner (oh, and me, too, so I can send their winnings!)
I just want someone with no skin in the game to take the position. Since I’m donating, but not buying a raffle ticket, and since I also have no problem whatsoever getting a Serpent Whistle, I guess I qualify too. Maybe I should just forget it, but I don’t want to be accused of favouritism in somebody’s twisted little nastygram again. So if someone else will take up the mantle, I will be grateful.
Thanks,
Bill Whedon
If you’re that worried about someone calling favoritism, I suggest that you assign the numbers yourself Bill, and forward only the numbers to your raffle runner…then they don’t know what number belongs to what person.
Or assign everyone a dart board number and start a-throwin’
