Trailer Raffle and Fund Raiser for Dano

[MasterGuns]

Good morning Daniel. Hope you are fully up and about and back to work much sooner than you or the docs anticipate. I've never met ya but know what recovering from severe injuries is like. Wanted to help Take care. PP sent.

Hello Dano: Thanks for the update. We hope to make Don's MD also????

[Guest]

Dan, wish it could have been more. Not interested in the trailer, just your well being.....

[Freebird]

OK folks. It looks like this one is winding down so I think it's time to put an end date on it. I want to thank all of you for your generous donations to Dan and Rose.

 

So, we are going to end this one at midnight on this coming Friday, the 16th. That gives anybody who still wishes to get in on the trailer raffle another 3 days to do so.

 

I have a busy weekend ahead of me but I will get all the tickets assigned and draw a number sometime Saturday or Sunday.

[dingy]

Its been a good week for selling stuff. Just sent Dan another small donation.

 

I hope he gets better, I may need a starter clutch in the near future. When I was testing all the TCI's with a bunch of starts, it made the bad noise in starter area.

OK folks, here is a list of names of those of you who are entered in the trailer raffle. I will update this as any more donations come in between now and Friday night. Now this is cut and pasted directly from my list of PMs and emails that I have received from you. It shows that you are entered but not how many chances you have. You will each get the number of chances that you are eligible for based upon your donations. If you have donated $10.00 or more and don't see your name listed here, please send me a PM to let me know.

Thanks once more to ALL who have helped, it has gone alot towards showing the wife and family HOW much you guys care and can help someone they might not even know face-to-face! I hereby promise to try and meet you all one of these days thru future riding chances, heck we even like riding out to the west coast (1/2 way there last year out to Cody!) and WILL make it out there one day! RIGHT Condor??

 

But of course, we will meet all of you who make Maintenance Day at Dons this year!

[playboy]

Look again maybe the bigger text will help

[Freebird]

Sorry folks. I had the PMs from those of you who were not on the list. When I copied and pasted them from my saved folder for the raffle, I sort of forgot to get the ones from the second page.

 

I just updated the list so NOW if you don't find your name on it, please send me another PM.

[steamer]

Must be magic. There I wasn't, Now I is.

[playboy]

The boss is sneaky that way its like he just KNOWS !

 

[bongobobny]

Really warms my heart to see sooo many of you on the list!! God bless all of you! Way to go VR family!

[captdrac]

Hey Dano, get well soon. I'm in. Hope this helps. Haven't been on email, so I'm a little late. Besides, a trailer sounds like a nice plus:322:.

[w.steve wells]

Dano, hope you heal soon and get back to riding,hope this helps with things steve

[Trader]

Too much competition for the trailer....not enough help for Dano

 

That's what you call a quandry!

 

I love this site!

 

 

It just shows that even in this sick world (2Tim 3:1-4) there are still a lot of good folk.

 

Religiously mis-guided perhaps......but good!

PLEASE DON"T DELETE ME!!!!!!!:rotf:

[icebrrg3rd]

Nothing like waiting til the last minute to do this. Just sent a donation off to Dano. Can't win if you don't get in.

 

Hope you're doing better Dano.

[SapperMedic]

Get back on your feet quick Dano, Paid Forward

[Freebird]

OK folks, the sale of raffle tickets for the trailer has concluded. I will get everything organized and draw randomly select a winner sometime later today or tomorrow morning at the very latest.

 

Thank you for all your support and thank Muffinman and Mni-Muffin for their generous donation of the trailer.

 

Good luck to all.

[Dano]

Thanks again to everybody for their help, especially Jeff and Margaret. I had the trailer here over last winter so somebody is going to get a great one! Your help is going to go a LONG way towards my return and keeping the wholeness of the family belongings together. Hope to meet all of you one of these days!

[VentureT]

I hope this turned out to be a tremendously successful initiative. Kudos to all involved and supporting a fellow rider.

 

 

 

Trailer Raffle Has Concluded. No more ticket sales. Winner will be drawn soon. Thank you all very much for your support.

 

As most of you know, Dano hit a dear on his RSV about 3 months ago and spent a good a long while in the hospital. He is home now and doing outpatient rehab but it is going to be at least a few more months before he is able to think about working again. Dano is self employed so no work means no money. Those of you who have been fortunate enough to meet him and Rose know that they are just great people. Dano is one that is always there when anybody needs his help but now he could use our help.

 

Jeff and Margaret kindly donated the trailer that they bought and loaned Aussie Annie and Quickstep to use during their travels in the USA last summer. We are going to raffle this trailer off with all proceeds going to Dano. If you have no interest in the trailer and but with to donate to the fundraiser anyway, that would be great also. The trailer is a 1994 Cycle Mate. It had new tires installed last summer and the wheel bearings were all repacked at the same time. Now please be aware that this trailer is presently being stored at a members house in Washington State. Getting it home will basically be the winners responsibility but I know that as a group,, we can do a trailer relay and help get it to the winner.

 

Rather than all the funds going through me or somebody else, I think the easiest way to do this will be to have you send your donations directly to Dano. The tickets will be $10.00 each or 3 for $25.00. If you use PayPal, PLEASE do NOT mention anything about a raffles as PayPal does NOT allow their services to be used for raffles. When you sent him the money, click on the "personal" tab and mark it as a "gift". That way there will be no PayPal fees held out of the donations.

 

Now this will be an extra step and a bit of an inconvenience for you but if you are actually sending a donation and want to be included in the raffle, you need to send me a private message and let me know that you have sent Dano the donation and how much it was so that I will know how many tickets to be added to the raffle in your name. I will not be sending out ticket stubs or anything like that. At the conclusion of the raffles, I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.

 

So let the fun begin. I hope that many of you will help out. If you can't send $10.00 for a raffle ticket, then $1.00, $5.00...whatever size donation will still be appreciated. It all adds up.

 

Here is the info for Dano. You can use this email address to send funds via PayPal. Just got to paypal.com, login, click send money, enter Dano's email address, click on the tab that says personal, mark it as a gift and send. If you don't use PayPal, you can send a check, money order, whatever to this address.

 

Dano's PayPal email address is:

danob11@comcast.net
