  1. Hi all,

    I have been given the dubious honor of being the chair of the Raffle
    Committee for the up-coming North American Unicycle Conference and
    Championship (NAUCC) in Salt Lake City, Utah, July 13 - 18.

    Throughout the conference we will raffle-off items that have been
    donated that will raise money to pay for the awards and the event
    itself. Further, we can use this raffle to promote the businesses,
    clubs and individuals that have donated items. The donated items are to
    be labeled with the name of the donor and placed on display – to whet
    the appetite of potential raffle ticket buyers and to display who has
    supported our unicycle gathering and unicycling in general.

    So, as you already are expecting, here is the pitch: Can you help us by
    donating items for this part of our conference? Your support would be
    greatly appreciated - obviously.

    This is a great way to show your support for this growing sport and this
    gathering of the continent’s unicyclists.

    Please e-mail me ([email hidden])
    if you, your business, your club, etc., could make a donation of product
    or service to be raffled.

    Cheers,
    Tommy

  2. You can count on the Panther Pride riders to bring things for the raffle.
    Especially a cookbook.

  3. Thanks, Barb!

    Again, I encourage / challenge all riders and clubs to particpate in
    this part of our continental uni-gathering. Everyone is going to have
    such a great time! I can't wait!

    Think of the raffle as sort of a raffle pot luck. If you have access to
    items or services that any of us might enjoy winning in a raffle let me
    know so that I can put it on the list.

    E-mail me with your contribution to this uni-gathering!

  4. Count me in. I'll bring some stuff. Though I have to save the best of
    the worst for MUni Weekend... 😄

    Look for one of the coveted Unicon III (Tokyo) posters in the pile!

  5. AWESOME, John!

    I'll be sure to buy a ton-o-tickets for the ton-o-goodies that we'll
    have!

    See you there,

  6. I could probably donate something... I will have to figure out
    something that would appeal to just about anyone. Adults are easy, kids
    may be a little harder. If you win, do you get your pick? Or do you
    just pick an item then pull the ticket? I don't think a kid would be
    that enthralled with most of the stuff I sell.

  7. The way it will work, as I understand, is that an item will be selelcted
    and then a ticket will be selected, at random.- from the "hat." The
    holder or the ticket's mate will win the item. Easy, huh?

  10. I may be willing to part with a couple of Mr. Harper "Swimsuit Edition"
    tattoos.

    (Don't be alarmed. They are temporary tattoos. Unlike the t-shirts, the
    image washes off eventually.)

    Or, maybe I should sell them? I'm sure the value has increased
    dramatically since last year.

    We'll see.

  11. Hey Carol,

    Of course the value (increasing as it is, by the minute) adds to our
    raffle, too.

    Heck, I'd love to have a matching tatto to match my shirt. I'll buy a
    ticket to have the set.

  12. I want to remind everybody to bring several extra dollars to buy gads of
    raffle tickets at the NAUCC. We have some GREAT items that have been
    donated and we are sure to have an exciting time - and perhaps win some
    great stuff.

    There is still time to donate items or services to be raffled-off.
    Since we are within a time window, if you are making a donation to the
    raffle the item probably should be brought to the event - rather than be
    sent. If you would like to make a donation and you are unable to attend
    and you don't want to send the item you can contact me to make a pledge
    donation and we can draw for the item that is to be delivered after the
    event. Please e-mail me if you would like to make a donation:

    [email hidden]

    We are doing everything that we can to make this NAUCC as entertaining,
    exciting, instructional, and fun as we know how. This is our biggest
    party of the year and I can't wait to see many of you there!

    Tommy

  13. Last night we held the NAUCC raffle and we had a great time. It was
    very exciting!

    I want to thank all who made generous donations toward making this a
    very successful part of a very fun NAUCC.

    Through our collective efforts we raised $1077 and had a great time in
    the process!

    Thank you to all who bought the raffle tickets and shared in this fun
    fund raiser!
