Hello,

Thanks to all who participated in the Hawaii Raffle! 

As of today, we have raised $3,700 ($3,000 showing online, $700 in company matches pending).  Thanks to everyone for your generosity! 

Our next goal is to raise a total of $5,000 by the end of the year, with our ultimate goal of $10,000 by August 2010. 

We will be drawing the winner for the perfect ski vacation to Tahoe on October 15.  The first 20 people to donate a minimum of $50 is automatically entered into the drawing, and 12 of those spots are already taken. 

The 12 people currently entered into the drawing:

• L & A Erhili

• Greg Foerster
• Leyla Hanson
• Rosine & Tugrul Bingol
• Weibin Xu
• Samir Bayraktar

Once we have 8 more entries, >$50 each, we will determine the lucky winner.  The lodge accommodates up to 6 people from Dec 14 - 18 (flyer).  This is a two bedroom townhouse at Old Greenwood Resort in North Lake Tahoe (website). 

The website of the property states:

Old Greenwood, Lake Tahoe's premier four-season and resort community, and home of Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf offers luxury Homes in North Lake Tahoe.

Situated in the historic town of Truckee on 600 acres of towering pines and blue-sage covered hills, Old Greenwood offers a magnificent setting for the Lake Tahoe mountain lifestyle.

An opportunity that you cannot afford to miss!


As you know, we will limit this drawing to 20 people only and entries are filled on a first come, first serve basis. Once we have twenty people, we will pull the name of the lucky winner. You can donate multiple $50s to increase your chances!

Please take advantage of this incentive and share it with your friends.
