Hey Bob what's the Grand Prize in this raffle.

I can't quite make it out in your post.

Paypal to follow.

Dennis

Image is fixed Dennis, thanks for your generous purchase already! Good Luck!

Bob,

The picture looks better, but there are two other things.

1. now it makes you scroll to the right or left to see it all.

2. I wasn't even referring to the picture. I was referring to the fact that the Grand Prize is mentioned three seperate times in your initial post.

I guess I should have made my comment 3 times.

Dennis

Wouldn't this make a unique trip for a group of 6 Wackos?

Only two weeks left for this unique Grand Prize!
Cedar Island Lighthouse needs your help for the replacement of the damaged entry door and the removal of the enviromental hazards in the lighthouse structure as a first step towards restoration.
thanks to all who are participating and those who will,
Bob

Bob, I just printed out the information sheet and MJ will be sending a check to you this weekend.

Good luck with raising the much needed money to help restore this jewel (in the rough at the moment).

Hello! My husband and I have planned to visit New York early next year - I have quite a bit of family that still lives up there. Is anyone allowed to enter the raffle or do you have to be with a certain association? I would love the win a trip like that. :p Please let me know - I already have a PayPal account and everything.

Thanks
BonnieJean

The check's in the mail, at least it will be when I get home tonight... I could use a trip back at Long Island, since I now have this really nice Long Island lighthouse map!

Bonnie,

The raffle is open to anyone! Just use the link that Bob provided in his message.

Good luck!

And thanks to everyone who is supporting this raffle! I wish I was eligible to win the grand prize.

Bob, I sent the raffle ticket payment via PayPal, please be on the lookout for it! I will have to get with you when Kenny & I finally decide on a date to visit Long Island. Is there any special time that you would suggest? Maybe around a special Lighthouse event or something. Just try to make sure it's not snowing around that time. Remember I'm from Florida - we only have two seasons here - Drought Season and Monsoon Season.
