Re: Fundraiser for OZ bushfire Victims. Raffle, 5 watches+more

For those of you that may be holding back because you're worried that your CC may get put on hold, don't worry.

Just call the 1-800 customer service number on the back of your CC and tell them that you will be making a BIG payment to AUS today. They can easily add this to your profile so that the payment doesn't trigger any alarms. It really isn't difficult or time consuming. I did this recently when I was visiting South America and I don't suppose it took more than 3 minutes to complete.

Believe me you will feel really good about yourself afterward.

I sent you my receipt before 2PM GMT (4:40PM EST) to be as exact as email can be (that's when I sent it). I have not received tickets or anything yet

EDIT: LMAO nevermind... backwards... definitely didn't send it before 9am haha

Haha, just got a call from paypal they just wanted to verify as pissed off as some people are at paypal i've never really had a problem with them and this just eases my mind that much more... I'm still going to order one of those fobs soon but for now I'm happy with them haha

Re: Fundraiser for OZ bushfire Victims. Raffle, 5 watches+more

Hey all. Damn sat link went down again. I have gone for an hours drive to dad's to catch up on sending tickets, on dial up (Arrrrrgh!) ! All should now be up to date.

After some prompting from some of our American members I have extended the deadline by a few hours to give the ConUS most of the weekend to donate. It was brought to my attn that an entirly different lot of members show up on weekends.

The new finish time is 2PM AEST (GMT +10) Monday. That's an extra 12 hours. The draw will be on Tuesday our time (AEST)

A last minute prize donation sees a couple more hand made pens added. These are by Graman"s (RWG1.1) father. One in Jarrah and one in Olive wood.

Thanks to all who have donated.

Hey all the results have been posted in this same thread on RWG.

I just popped over because both winners of my shirts are RWI members (can't remember their usernames right now), so can everyone go check out the results and the winners of my prizes please leave me a PM with their postal details.

Thank you all for supporting this raffle, these fires (a number of which are still burning out of control) are in my home state and everyone here seems to know someone directly affected, truly a sad business.

Regards
Ken

unfortunately i tried several times to donate and their site wouldn't accept the payment. i emailed them explaining the problem and they did answer me saying they would have the proper department contact me to help. that was a couple of days ago and i am waiting to hear back from them. when they contact me i am still going to send the donation anyway because it is a very worthy cause.

congrats to all the winners, the donations are for a good cause and i am sure the red cross is still willing to take more donations even though the raffle is over.

i would like to give a big thank you for all of the people that donated and to the suppliers that made the items available for the raffle.

Re: Fundraiser for OZ bushfire Victims. RaffleWINNERS!

Thats all folks. A wierd draw I know but the video will be available if anyone wants to see it. Tickets were mixed before and after being scrunched up. With only one execption the multi winners bought A LOT of tickets. Up to $250 worth in fact.

Can the winners Email me at [email protected] ASAP with their adress for mailing prizes. If anyone has a prize they don't want feel free to put it up for sale/ auction at the forum of your choice and donate some/all of the proceeds. Maybe split them between the appeal and the forum fund?


It ain't over yet!

Yep, I have a couple of watches still in the kitty for auction! There's a gen with a retail of over 800 bucks from a most generous Jamin72 (again!) and a Brietling from WBK. Told you he is whacko!
The Briet will be going up at RWI and the Gen at RWG2. I'll get them up tomorrow. I'm stuffed today. I just wanna go home! The sooner you get me your addys, the sooner you get your prizes. Don't forget I'm still having to travel for the best part of an hour to dad's to go on line so I'l only be chking the mail once a day. First time will be in aprox 20hrs.


Thanks to all those who helped make this possible. We have raised $3285 so far including those who opted out of the raffle but not including those who donated but did not pass an amount on to me. I suspect the total is well in advance of 4000 bucks with more to came from the auctions. Well done everybody. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Oh, Onzenuub, I need your address too mate. There's a special little thankyou headed your way for the work you put in. For those who don't know Onze has been takeing care of posting at Geeks for me since I am not a member there as well as bumping the thread everywhere. Onze even offered the use of his PP acount for those without CCs to donate.Considering you live on the other side of the world and have no connection with this disaster appart from living on the same planet I think you deserve it. You are NOT to auction/sell it tho. It's for you buddy.

I'll catch up with everybody tomorrow. You are all stars in my book!

Many thanks and regards from my self and the people of Victoria, Col.

I didn't think I'd win, but it was for a good cause so I donated.
It's great that these forums have such a great group of members to organize and support such an effort.
Thanks guys.

Thanks Col for all the effort you put into this. I know how difficult and time consuming this can be and so all I can say is 'Trailboss99 is the man'
