| Thanks to all of you! Our raffle raised
$4615 ( 1110 sold) - We donated $5077 to the three charities!
(48 more have been added (oops!), all from the mail - some unexpected, some
buying more than expected)
A few people have mailed in to purchase chances, without letting me know. We
accepted the money, and include them in the raffle - it is all still for a good cause.
1110 tickets were sold (our target was 1000 tickets or 6 weeks, but the sales went so
quickly that we overshot - I'm hoping no one will mind too much):
23 purchases of a single chance for $5 --- $115.
180 purchases of 6 chances for $25 --- $4500
PayPal fees are about $250.00
( I will make up that amount so that all of the money coming in will go out to cancer
societies)

(Note - as I learned about the sale, I assigned a number, and have not changed it. In some
cases numbers are not in sequence (mail) when I expected one ticket and found $25 for 6.
Where the date is not in order, the payment arrived via mail)
