What is the Raffle?
One of our volunteers collects and packages baskets of
books and all types of goodies donated by authors, local
merchants, and others. Donations in the past have
included signed books, paintings, gift certificates,
edible treats, even a vacation package! Critiques and
character-namings are always good, too! The baskets are
on display in the bookstore for examination throughout
the conference.
How do
I donate items for the raffle?
Thank you! Donating to the raffle is a great way to gain
additional exposure. We welcome all types of donations -
you are limited only by your imagination! If you have an
item or items to donate, please contact Vicki at
bookpainter319(at)hotmail.com for further information
regarding where to send your item. PLEASE NOTE: The
deadline for donating items is February 6, 2012.
How do I participate to win raffle items?
Raffle tickets are sold throughout the conference by our
Boa Ladies, volunteers who roam the conference wearing
pink boas. Prices are reasonable, and you can buy as
many tickets as you like to increase your odds of
winning. Slotted boxes are placed with each raffle item
and you put your tickets in the box for the item you
would like to win.
When is the drawing and must I be present to win?
The drawing is held at the cocktail party on Saturday
evening. It is not necessary for you to be there, but
your tickets must be. Winning tickets are verified at
the time of the drawing and the items presented. We
cannot mail winning baskets. Many people who cannot
attend on Saturday evening leave their tickets with a
trusted friend.
