Because we are getting SO many donations of instruments, I have changed the format a bit so we can get the most money for Jerry. It may get a little tricky with timing of my delivery, but my mom will help me and we'll get it done. It may take a little longer than planned, though. It'll be the gift(s) that keep on giving.

Maybe you could put separators in there so we can keep track of the new ones!?

I take it that's $10 American??

IDAwHOa · Post by **IDAwHOa** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 8:35 am

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.

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.

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.
