Exclamation UPDATE: Raffles, Raffles, & MORE Raffles!

Raffles, Raffles, & MORE Raffles!

As the coordinators for the raffles @ the Fall Rally, its that time again for Bev & I (Jim & Bev Schlee, aka 'worknomore') to put out the call for Ticket Sellers, Raffles/Chinese Auction, & Door prize donations. We will also have a 50/50 raffle in addition to the above raffles. This is the 'Kick-Off event for the 2021 National Rally. Other event announcements will follow, as the WM's get them organized.

If you would like to help selling tickets at all of the events (good way for folks to meet each other), just post it here on this thread: 6 -8 volunteers is what we're looking for.

As for prizes/giveaways, ANYTHING RV-related is appreciated, although we won't turn away other items. The only thing we ask is that your donation is NEW & USEFUL - please no garage sale leftovers or used stuff. The best way to acquire some good items is to hit up the dealers where you've spent your life savings on a new Montana. If they donate (or any other store for that matter), be sure to get some business cards from them that we'll put out by the gifts/donations, & thank them profusely for their donation(s). Post comments on THIS thread if you've got some things to donate so we can keep track as to how things are going.

Finally, the money generated from all of these raffles is usually donated to local and/or national charities where it can be put to the best use - charities that spend most of their money on salaries, etc. are not even considered. Those charities chosen by the Grand Poohbah's (Wagon Masters) & MOC Admins will be announced sometime during Rally Week.

Phew - last but not least, the remainder goes to cover expenses for the current rally, as well as seed money for the following year's rally. REMEMBER - the MOC is a user-run forum. It is up to us to keep things going for the future...!

Having said all that

Lets get to work folks & fill up those prize tables, AND thanks in advance for your contributions...!!!

NOTE: Rather than replying here to each donation (which ARE appreciated), I will probably send you a 'Thank You' PM. By doing that, this thread will be shorter & easier to follow for everyone...

Ticket Sellers/Helpers:
Schlee, Jim & Bev
Lawson, Peggie
Simpson, Karen
Hermes, Ken & Margaret
Maureen Pettine & Ahti Isolehto

PLEASE try to be there - we've got a LOT of stuff to give away & very little time to do it - THANKS!

TO ALL TICKET SELLERS - PLEASE check the posted schedule for dates/times that we will be selling tickets:

We don’t have a dealership nearby, but we have been picking up a few things here and there. I found some really cute kitchen towels. 🙂 We’ll be picking up some gift cards for you. I also have a surprise for you…maybe silent auction??

We have an RV dealer in our area that has a great service department certified to work on many brands of RVs including Keystones but they do not sell new Montana’s, is it acceptable to get items donated from them?

Absolutely! Maybe it will be an incentive for them to take on the Montana line..

I'll be happy to help sell tickets! I'm a total newbie to camping and want to meet all the folks I can. You can put me to work whenever and wherever you need me.

I also want to donate a Tula XII planner/organizer specifically designed for camping. Ahti and I will be arriving on 9/7/21 so I can drop the planner by on that date.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Terrie is planning on doing two shirts again as for previous rallies. If we’d ever stay home long enough for her to use her new embroidery machine, she might get them done.

Maureen & Ahti - Great! We can certainly use the help. Thanks also for the planner/organizer - being RV-related, it should generate a lot of bids and/or ticket sales.

I will get your names on the volunteer list & look forward to meeting you. You are also correct in assuming this is a GREAT way to meet a LOT of members...

Ron & Terrie,
Hey guys, that's great. The shirts are always a BIG draw. I guess you'll just have to sneak off in the rig on your own Ron & leave Terrie chained to her machine (good luck with that !)

What is the Raffle?

For you new folks that have never been to a Fall Rally before, the Raffle is the main source of income and money raising for the charities that the Wagon Master Team decide upon each year. The Raffles also pay for any extras expenses that may be included in the Rally. The Rally Fee is not enough to cover all expenses of the Rally.

This is why Jim and Bev, the Coordinators for the Raffle this year, are posting for the Rally Attendees to go to your local RV dealer, the sporting goods stores, or any store that you think might give a gift to the Raffle Table. Especially check with any store that carries any camping goods and see if they would like to donate something for the Raffle. Your local RV dealers or the dealer you purchased your Montana from or have work done on it are prime contributors to our Raffle Table. Homemade new items such as quilts, table cloths, pot holders, and anything you feel would be great for the Raffle Table will gladly be accepted.

If you get donations just bring them along to the Rally and bring them in when you check in during the first three days (September 7th, 8th, or 9th) and Jim and Bev or someone will be happy to add them to the Raffle Table for future Raffle prizes to be given out that week.

So get out there and round up some prizes that you can bring to the Raffle Table. You only have a little over five weeks and the fun begins at the National Fall Rally in Goshen. See you in September!

As Rondo so eloquently mentioned, this supports the charities selected by the Wagonmaster team. This literally amounts to thousands. Our last Wagonmaster stint we gave to Samaritan’s Purse for hurricane relief. That year a large number of MOC member communities were impacted. Any help is appreciated.
