1ST MI AIRSOFT RAFFLE/Special Announcement

[JackStraw]

;D ANNOUNCING MI AIRSOFT'S FIRST RAFFLE!! ;D

[glow=red,2,300]RAFFLE PRIZES HAVE ARRIVED![/glow]
You can no longer buy raffle tix.....sorry.  

[glow=red,2,300]Total Raffle Proceeds = $220![/glow] ;D 8)
A BIG "Thank You" to one & all that participated! ;D ;D

PRIZES
ALL PRIZES ARE BRAND NEW & NEVER USED!
1ST - Marui Benelli M3 Super 90 Shorty Shotgun ($200 approx. value)
2ND - KSC Sig Pro SP2340 Pistol + 1 Can Gas ($150 approx. value)
3RD - Hurricane Scope Mount For MP5/G3 + BB's ($50 approx. value)

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
3/24/02 @ 11am
Due to the cancellation of OP: Norhtern Blast, prizes will be awarded at the first opportunity that presents itself.  That would be the first skirmish or meeting of MiA that I can attend in the VERY NEAR future.  If you would like to make it a "web event" with a web cam, we might be able to do that too.  Once I have possession of the raffle prizes I will award them ASAP and in a manner that you are all comfortable with.

Those who paid $15 to participate in ONB will receive 2 addl. raffle ticket numbers.  You will receive an update to your raffle ticket numbers today via email if you paid the registration fee to attend ONB.  This will keep the raffle funds at $220  (Two folks never paid for their raffle ticket numbers).

3/20/02 @ 5:35pm
Contrary to the original announcement (which has been amended), "ticket stubs" will not be mailed out before the raffle.  This is duplicative and unnecessary because the payment confirmation message that was emailed to participants is their proof of entry and contains their raffle ticket numbers.  Raffle tickets with participants numbers on them will be utilized during the drawing.  Raffle participants should print out a copy of their payment confirmation message as proof of what numbers were assigned to them and have it ready in case they're are asked to produce it when prizes are awarded.

I am glad that we are finally gonna have a raffle. It will be a good way to raise money for the cause. I have been saying ti for a while, I am glad it is happening.

[Spectre]

To all those who are paid up - thank you very much, we of the NATF appreciate you speediness in sending us some of your hard earned cash (trust me i understand, i'm making a few steps above minimum wage, and paying for car insurance, gas, and a little on the side for a social life...)

To the rest of the folks - guys, the raffle is closing in a matter of days, we need to have cash on hand to buy the prizes, if you are thinking that this is a bit of a shady operation going on up here, well maybe i don't blame you (jack, you did get those one-way airline tickets to mexico sorted out right?) <--j/k   but come on guys, as it stands this event is an unprecedented thing in our area, and if we can pull this off, myself and the other members of NATF really think it would bring a new level of legitimacy to airsoft, thereby benefiting the sport in michigan. We decided to try and go through with this for you guys, back when jack said "hey, we got a great spot up here, whos up for a big skirmish this spring?" quite a few of you said "hey NATF, count me in" now i, and i'm sure the rest of NATF understand that sometimes things get in the way, we have lives too, if some other time would work better for the group (MiA) as a whole, tell us now, we may still be able to work something out. as it stands right now, with the amount of money on hand and the number (or lack thereof) of registered [glow=red,2,300]CONFIRMED[/glow] players, we may have to cancel and take the raffle on the road (meaning truckin all of the prizes we have moeny for downstate for a weekend). Guys, if you are fairly sure you can make it, send us an email and get us the money, prizes need to be purchased this week, and we really wanna give away that benelli.



[Edit] Do NOT try and type a meaningful post while half-asleep, sorry for all of the typos those of you who read it before it was edited

Money's on the way

[JackStraw]

YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!
RAFFLE PRIZES HAVE ARRIVED!!
I'll take pics this wknd and have Hadoken post 'em.
Wonder who the lucky winners are!!

[Hadoken]

Woohoo! Finally some good news today.

Send the pics whenever you can good sir, I still have my old site I can use for image hosting. So all is well.

Mmmmm@M3 Shorty....she will be mine.  

[JackStraw]

OK, somebody is gonna owe me bigtime when we find out who won the P2340
I've been working on "TM Recovery" on it for over an hour now.  Still trying to get off some white crap that it appears they used to "sculpt" the covering tape into the rest of the surface, and then they painted it all black.  I'm a real perfectionist, so don't worry, it looks really good in the areas I've done so far.

My guess is that it's "white out", and it is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS to get off.  I'm now down to getting the grip cleaned up, and then I'll take some pics for you folks.  It's one sexy piece of armament, as is the Shorty Shotty.

[JackStraw]

Provided Hadoken is going to Operation Raging Falcon, the raffle prizes will be drawn for at that event and I will ship them to the winners the week after.
