Hello List-Members,
 
I would only like to add a small but very important bit of information to
what Geoff and Maria said.
 
I was told by a very well informed person that the amount donated by the
Meteorite Community will be the second highest donation to be received by the
town of Greensburg.
 
The only entity who gave more? The US Government!

Dear Listees:
Greetings all.
I  wanted to second Maria's comments, and commend everyone who has 
helped with  this fundraiser. Although many people are involved, the 
ever-generous Maria  Haas has shouldered the bulk of the work in making 
the event  happen.
During the Denver show, most or all of the prizes will be on  display 
(location TBA) for your viewing pleasure. You will be able to buy  
raffle tickets during the show from Maria, Anne Black, myself, and any  
other fundraiser volunteers who are in attendance. However we would 
MUCH  rather you get your tickets in advance (i.e. today or very soon), 
so we  don't have to carry your cash around at the show, and keep 
reminding  ourselves to put your tickets in the jar at the last minute! 
It sure would  be nice if we could reach $10,000.

Prizes  here:   http://www.aerolite.org/events/greensburg-raffle.htm
We're also most  grateful to the Denver COMETS who have once again 
allowed us to crash their  annual party with a charity raffle  : )  The 
Katrina Raffle prize  drawing, back in 2005, was very exciting, and I 
hope many of you will be  there this year to see who goes home with the 
big Brenham slab and all the  other goodies. Winners who cannot make it 
to the event will be notified  afterwards. Please remember that most of 
us will be away from home, visiting  the show, and won't be able to 
notify all winners for a day or  two.
Please visit Anne Black's site  http://www.impactika.com   and click on 
the big "PARTY" link near the top of the page for directions,  times, 
etc. for the party and raffle.
Regards,
Geoff  N.
