We've all read about how YorkieTalk is trying to raise funds to purchase a
new server to keep YT running smoothly:

YTers have absolutely kicked butt and raised more than $1,000 so far.
With $1,500 to go, we're going to have a RAFFLE.

THE DETAILS:

COST: $5 per entry.

FIRST PRIZE: A $200 gift certificate to Tinkerbell's Closet (www.tinkerbellscloset.com)
(half donated by a very generous, anonymous YorkieTalk member and half by Shanatink of Tinkerbell's Closet)

LIMITED ENTRIES: No more than 200 tickets will be sold. Additional entries past 200 will be refunded. Entries are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

OTHER PRIZES: If we sell at least 100 tickets, YorkieTalk will toss in a second-place prize of a $50 gift certificate. If we sell at least 150 tickets, YorkieTalk will toss in a third-place prize of a $25 gift certificate.

HOW TO ENTER: Paypal your entries to donations@yorkietalk.com
Be sure to add a note explaining that the money is for RAFFLE ENTRIES.
At that time, you will be assigned a number for each ticket purchased. (Please note that it may take up to 12 hours to process your ticket)

THE WINNER: On March 1, or as soon as 200 tickets have been sold, the numbers will be placed in a hat and a winner will be drawn. The drawing will be taped and the video will be posted for everyone to view.

So go to Paypal today and get your entry tickets!

Congratulations everyone! Thanks everyone for entering! If you are a winner, we have PM'd you on how to redeem your prize!

The YorkieTalk Raffle winners was drawn by fasteddie's Yoda on February 7, 2007. All 200 numbers were put in a hat and Yoda magically drew the lucky numbers! The lucky numbers were: 100, 7, and 126! No Yorkies were harmed during the filming of the drawing.

A special thanks goes out to the anonymous, mysterious, benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous! Thank you for your kindness and generosity! You are appreciated around here, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Also, this raffle would not be possible without Tinkerbell's Closet, owned by our very own Shanatink! Thank you, Shana!
