Started a new thread with the details and hopefully @Mastermind can sticky this.
I'm volunteering to run a raffle for Dan @paragonbuilder who has a buddy whose wife has breast cancer and the bills are piling up. Dan was going to sell his buddy's MS461 to raise funds, but many have suggested a raffle so here we go.
How it works - for each $10 donated you get your name entered into the pot. For example: $100 = 10 entries/chances/name thrown into the fish bowl.
End date/drawing - To be entered into the drawing/raffle. You must have your donations in by midnight Sept 2nd. The drawing will be done Sept 3rd or shortly after.
Donations - donations can be done via paypal or if you'd like to send a check/cash please contact myself Eric @malk315 or @paragonbuilder Dan. The paypal address (use Friends and Family please to avoid fees) is paypal@bvwireless.net PLEASE PLEASE include your OPE username and real name in the NOTE section of your donation (and nothing else, paypal may have a hissy if they find out its for a raffle)
PRIZES!!! special thanks to those who have donated prizes!!!

6. Husky 262XP rebuilt and work ready with optional port work (winners choice) from @paragonbuilder

17. Chainsaw "starter" repair kit (it's got a LOT of tools for working on saws) looks like it is geared towards Stihl saws. See pictures from Dave in this thread. A great prize from @Definitive Dave
Thanks and all the best to this lady and Dan's bud who could use the help! We are like one big family here and we take care of our own! Cheers.
