Geoff, now that is a nice haul! Whoever wins this raffle will get some
serious meteorites. Buy more tickets!
Thanks for the work Geoff, you prove once again that you are truly a caring
person who will devote a lot of time to help others in need.

> 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:

> http://www.aerolite.org/meteorite-raffle.htm

>
> 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 website).
>
> Ticket sales continue. PLEASE NOTE: The cut-off date for ticket sales is
> Monday, September 12. If I have not received your payment by that date,
> you will not be eligible to participate in the prize drawing, sorry. We
> will try to accommodate last-minute cash ticket sales during the Denver
> Show, but I am making no promises. Payments can be made through PayPal
> (use link on raffle page), or you can mail personal checks (made out to
> the "American Red Cross" please) to me at:
