FreezyRider Posted March 17, 2012 #101 Posted March 17, 2012 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! You are most welcome, Dan. I really hope I win that sucker, because I know just where it will end up if I do. I have no interest in pulling a trailer, I use a hitch rack. So, I'll just have to donate it to someone who lives close enough that I can deliver it to him.
bongobobny Posted March 17, 2012 #102 Posted March 17, 2012 Yah! I have plans for that trailer along those lines if I win it too...

I have plans for that trailer along those lines if I win it too... My idea also, Could be a trailer raffle at Oberlin MD for some other worthy cause. Can't really see pulling a trailer behind Speedy, just not its style !!!! Gary
Freebird Posted March 17, 2012 Author #104 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) OK folks. Here are the names that I have with your ticket numbers assigned. I'm going to post this so that hopefully most will see it and let me know if you have donated and do not see your name on the list or if I do not have you down for the correct number of tickets. I plan to draw the winning number sometime around 10:00 tomorrow morning. NOTE: I have now removed the names and ticket numbers. No reason to keep them here since the contest has concluded.

Flyinfool Posted March 17, 2012 #105 Posted March 17, 2012 Hmmmm Looks like Squeeze REALLY wants that trailer. Good job Squeeze, and everyone else that chipped in. I wish I could have done more to help.
Freebird Posted March 17, 2012 Author #107 Posted March 17, 2012 Now you are going to make me feel bad. I tormented over how to do this. It took me a good long while to go through all the emails and PMs and make up a list of participants and then assign them the right number of tickets. I then thought about whether I should just post the list or take the time to send each person a PM. That would have taken a long time so I did it the lazy way and just posted the list. The one thing I was concerned about though was making somebody feel bad because they didn't give as much as somebody else. I just DON'T want anybody to feel that way. I know that each and every person gave from the heart and that is ALL that matters. Whether your bought one ticket or 500 tickets doesn't matter. Some folks are more able to help than others. Some folks support many other causes and have to allocate what they have to those various causes. Some folks make more money than others. There are a multitude of reasons that some can or choose to give more than others. The fact is, if you gave a single dollar bill, your contribution is sincerely appreciated.
Freebird Posted March 17, 2012 Author #108 Posted March 17, 2012 Okay! And the winner is... Dan and Rose. Actually, anytime we can come together and help each other, I think we are all winners. Remember, this list is NOT representative of all who helped. There are some who donated but did not want to be included in the trailer raffle. So a round of applause to all our VentureRider members.
Marcarl Posted March 17, 2012 #109 Posted March 17, 2012 Okay! And the winner is... Patience my friend, it's not tomorrow just yet. I hear that as you get older time seems to fly,,, it does really,,,, but not that fast!!

I certainly was not trying to make anyone feel bad. I was trying to congratulate all that helped. And pick on Squeeze a little.
Freebird Posted March 17, 2012 Author #111 Posted March 17, 2012 I know you weren't....but I'm the sensitive type you know....
bongobobny Posted March 18, 2012 #112 Posted March 18, 2012 Dan and Rose. Actually, anytime we can come together and help each other, I think we are all winners. Remember, this list is NOT representative of all who helped. There are some who donated but did not want to be included in the trailer raffle. So a round of applause to all our VentureRider members. That is EXACTLY my opinion! I was going to post that about 6 lines down on my post...
Midnight Rider Posted March 18, 2012 #113 Posted March 18, 2012 I haven't been on in some time. Just seen this and would love to make a donation. Hope its not too late. Dale
kbran Posted March 18, 2012 #114 Posted March 18, 2012 Look at the first post Dale, just send it to his paypal or home address.
Freebird Posted March 18, 2012 Author #115 Posted March 18, 2012 Yes, you can certainly make a donation but to be fair, it is too late to actually be entered in the raffle. I know that Dan and Rose would still appreciate any donations though.
Midnight Rider Posted March 18, 2012 #116 Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks Don. Wasn't worried about the raffle. Will send you paypal.
Freebird Posted March 18, 2012 Author #117 Posted March 18, 2012 No, please send it directly to Dano. The information is in the first post of this thread. If you have already done it though, I will forward it to him. Thanks Dale.
Dano Posted March 18, 2012 #118 Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks again guys, makes a shorter hill for us to climb. I'm gonna try and be at it by mid April (if left side is OK) as much as I can. THAT'S the hill that needs climbed!
BradT Posted March 18, 2012 #119 Posted March 18, 2012 Not interested in the trailer anyway. All the best. Brad
Freebird Posted March 18, 2012 Author #120 Posted March 18, 2012 The winner has been announced HERE: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67896
Squeeze Posted March 24, 2012 #121 Posted March 24, 2012 ...... And pick on Squeeze a little. Come on, Jeff, don't hold back, bring it on !! !! Just make sure you're ready for the Echo :p:p On a serious Note, Don's absolutly right, we all do what we can. Small Number or big Numbers don't say much, it's the Effort which counts. Yes, i really wanted to have the Trailer and i wanted to give support. But, i'm a bit in a Pinch these Days too, so i had to cut down in obtaining my Chances to the lower End of the Range. In the End it doesn't matter, i just hope Dan's gonna be back to being able to work soon and making the Ends meet again by himself. I'm still so thankfull he's alive ...
