Menu for Hope extended through the weekend
Menu for Hope raffle is extended through the weekend. It looks like there are a bunch people who made mistakes in their raffle bids and donation forms so I am going to give until the end of this weekend to correct everything.
When the great folks at Firstgiving get into their office at 9am EST, someone there is going to close the donation page and then send me the spreadsheet of the donors and their raffle bids for our drawing. That will be the hard stop for the campaign right there.
So, there's a bit of time left if you want to donate and get more raffle tickets you missed the first time. If you have any problem at all with the donation, please email support@firstgiving.com and they will be happy to help you.
Meanwhile, you probably see that you can keep up with how much we've raised with the neat little widget just to the right of this post. That came courtesy of Derek Slager, who also helped me figure out the odds on our tip sheet. Thanks Derek!
















Oh look, last minute entry with only some hours to go to 9am EST. So like me. Pim, I goobered and wrote the wrong thing for my message - I meant 2xCA09 vs 1xCA09!! D'oh. Need sleep. It's 3am (meant to sleep, but about an hour ago, I stumbled on your entry for extended raffle joy!)
Thanks for all your work.
