The March Meeting we will start to sell multi month raffle tickets for $10 each there will only be 200 total tickets sold.

When the 200 tickets are sold the drawing will take place at the next meeting anyone can buy them no need to be present to win.

the drawing will be for a :

Neptune AquaController 3 Pro
Direct Connect 8 modules features 8 solid-state controlled outlets (DC8)

Will these be available at the swap?

 

[Tbohinc]

yes they Will

 

[the budman]

i know what SHOULD be on that raffle

 

[vietcu]

Now this is what I call a raffle. Hope there will be more of these type of raffles in the future.

 

[ReefWidowed]

we're trying this as an experiment...we'll see what the overall interest ends up being.

Vu, I'll let you know if I buy any tickets, dont want you wasting your money. hehe

 

[Tbohinc]

180 to go

 

[DiscoReefRover]

im pretty sure theyll be all gone or almost gone after the swap...lol

 

[itZme]

I'll be in for a couple more at the swap. I want that ticket drawn ASAP.

 

[dogpound]

Really, thats 1800 in just one raffle item. I think the total amount the raffle brings is is somewhere in that number for all the items.

I hope it sells well but I don't think it will come any where's near the the 200 number. IMO i would of made it 100 tickets or 150... Wasn't cora's raffle for the wave box 100 tickets?

 

[Kreeger1]

But i will be buying a few and tossing my luck at it

 

[ReefWidowed]

It wouldn't be much of a "multi-month" raffle if all the tickets were sold in one month....

I will also be tossing lucky thoughts toward it

 

[Kreeger1]

Hopefully it's not yearly though, 20 sold at one meeting times 10 months is a year plus for c-sea.

Just saying, It's a great idea! IMO needs a little tweaking. I no that was discussed at fridays meeting but never brought up to the board. Who knows what will happen at the frag swap though, I could be a 2 week raffle ...lol

 

[jh2pizza]

GOOD, i WANT TO WIN ANOTHER CONTROLLER.

 

[vietcu]

I agree with Kreeger, 100 would have been a better number. Better of a chance for me to win .

 

[Jeff Trout]

i think 200 is alot too!! I dont think I'm going to get in on it because of that

 

[DiscoReefRover]

???? are you people missing the point if it was done at a 100 tickets there would be no point club raffles a controller for next to nothing ..remember club has to pay for raffle item then get s to keep rest ...at 100 tickets at 10 bucks each thats a 1000 bucks ..the controller package offered retails for that ??? I think people are getting a little to material and forgeting about the club ...after all if it wasnt for the club you wouldnt have a raffle at all !!!!!!

I don't think the club needs to make 3-4 times the profit on this item. Being a officer in the past I no what the club needs to run, 5 k has been a good number for years. Why push past that? the controller at cost will run the club 500 ish. why make 1500 profit off the club? The club makes what 3-4 or so off the frag swap alone. why the need to rake the club for more then save double. Which is what 100 tickets would do. Double the price which is Fair.

No sean, We're not missing the point???? So please don't pull the forgetting about the club stuff with me. I was the one that brought the FRAG SWAP Money maker to the club and didn't run it myself. I had to Fight to get the club to come off the money to run one.

Making money and getting greedy is to different things. I've heard the 1500 can bring in 2 speakers and pay for them but really Can we bring in 2 quality speakers a year???? I don't think so they just don't want to book Cleveland. THere's too many other clubs out there now.

The club is offering the controller or 500 bucks. 100 tickets is 1000 bucks, thats not next to nothing Sean.
