Hello Tesa Thanks for posting this for me! Now on the board I will post the money and the names of the people that buy the raffle tickets and how many they have bought so if you see you name there then you will know it is on the up and up. If you do not get in contact with me and it will be posted if I get an ok from paypal that you bought one or six tickets. Now I understand there are a lot of kids out there that do not have a paypal account and some grownups as well, that do not have one. So what you would have to do is to email me. Because the only other way is to send a money order. I am sorry but I cannot take personal check or cash. Now on a business account though paypal they take out 49 cent for every $5.00 that is put in there and for every $2.00 they take out like 29 cents, which I will be more then happy to make up out of my own pocket, this is not a problem. Now I will post on the board how much money has been raised! That is after the Bulb has been purchased and the Bulb will be sent direct to you from Mega-Ray. Now the bulb runs $39.95 plus whatever shipping there is. Which I cannot see being every much this way you can add it up for yourselves on how much money has been raised on the Raffle! So if you think this is a scam you can confront me on it! I am sure if it is, it would be the last forum I would ever run and NO Forum Would WELCOME ME! Well thanks for hearing me ramble! And Thanks Again Tesa for post what you did!  ;D Remember this is open to the Reptile Community and the vote where the proceeds go to as well is open to the Reptile Community!!!!!!!! Thanks Patrick Ps. You Do not have to be a member to do this!!!! |

Hey Steph
Well here is the key; the people that purchase the raffle tickets are going to tell me where they want the money to go. So soon I will be taking names of the Rescues and Herp Societies that the people will name off on where the money should go and then the people in the raffle will vote on where the money well go. Now if there is enough to spread around we will divide it up so the Rescues and or Herp Societies will all get a little bet. I will also post the names of the Reptile Community’s that have posted the link in their forums with the permission of their administrators of course.
Now people are probably wondering, well how are you going to get the money to the Rescues and Herp Societies? Well it will be in a Bank Money Order and I will post the picture of the Money Order to the Raffle Board before I Send it out. With a Letter giving credit to the Herp Forums that has help me out in posting the link for the Raffle, with the Permission from the Board Administrators of course.
Now people a probably also wondering how are you going to pick the winning number of the raffle? Well it will work like this, I am going to put all the raffle tickets in a bucket and with camera in hand be taking pictures of the winning ticket after it is pulled. Now your wondering who is going to do this well I been thinking about that it would not be fare if I did it so. I have picked a person that is neutral in the raffle and is not really old enough to get in on it, she is only about 3 yrs old. Yes I will have a little girl pull the winning number.
Please if anyone has any Question Do not hesitate to ask I will be more then welling answer him or her.
Thanks Patrick
Sorry for the long post..

Hello Everyone
Do not Forget to get in on the voting for where the Money will go!
You will have to buy a Ticket if you do not have a Ticket you will not be able to vote!
It is important that the Money goes to a good cause so BUY A TICKET if you want to Vote.
This one Ends on April 15, and the drawing will be held on the 17th that Sunday!!!!
Patrick
Every Little Bet Helps
Ps. If I can afford to Buy the Bulb and make up the difference that paypal takes out then I think you guys can afford a 5.00 ticket. So come on Get in on this while you can time is running out!
