> Dear Friends and Listees:
>
> Greetings all. I have just completed a major update to our 2005
> Meteorite Charity Raffle project, and I think you will all be surprised
> by the quality, quantity, and ingenuity of these prizes. Newest
> additions have been placed at the top of the page for ease of viewing.
> We will shortly be breaking the prizes up into groupings: First Prize,
> Second Prize, etc. There will be MULTIPLE prizes awarded.
>
> I have also received a kind offer of numerous smaller items, which we
> will not have time to list on the site, but we will use them to make
> sure that as many people as possible go home with a nice meteorite
> memento from our charity raffle. Thanks to Steve Arnold IMB for
> organizing that.
>
> Here is the updated prize page:

>
> In addition, a few especially rare and collectible items have been
> offered to the project, and we are considering a series of special
> auctions on Ebay for those donated items, after the Denver show. More
> on that later. If someone would like to volunteer to help with Ebay
> sales, please let me know.
>
> I will have to stop accepting raffle prizes within the next couple of
> days. If you have something you'd like to donate, please don't delay
> (last minute additions may be accepted but will not appear on the

> Ticket sales continue. PLEASE NOTE: The cut-off date for ticket sales
