Teaser Time!

[McRabbet]

In less than a week, we will announce the Spring North Carolina Woodworker Raffle! I'm proud to say that we have our largest suite of prizes ever -- over $4,500 worth! We've got everything from marking and layout tools, to top quality hand tools for prepping your joinery, to major power tools for cutting and turning, to jigs and assembly aids, to bunches of woodworking classes for learning and even some Gift Certificates for more!

So don't spend that Tax Return yet; save up to buy your $5 tickets!

Tax return???? Explain to me exactly how that works. Being self employed, every year I have to write a check or two.

I do too and I'm retired... I still owe four digits to the IRS... But then I'm not eligible to buy any tickets...

As an additional teaser, let me say that Rob has out done himself this time!

Spend it, I haven't gotten it yet! Hey, since NC has been slow on the tax refunds, are you taking IOU's? :no:

No IOU's but there's still five more days for that 88 gazillion dollar return to come in!

Dan,

I've known vendors to stretch out paying 45 days or more, but for Govt?

I wonder what their FICO score is? :rolf:.

Keeping in mind that if they owe you, they have owed you for a year already!!

So, how long does the tease last? My $5.00 tax refund is burning a hole in my pocket. :gar-La;

 

[McRabbet]

We kick it all off on the 15th, hence the tax refund reference (even though you have until the 18th to file federal taxes this year). But to take full advantage, you'll need to buy more than that $5 refund will get you -- two prizes in the package have a combined value of over $2,000, so you'd need at least two tickets to get them both!

Thank you for the raffle prequel and all the work you put into it Rob. :icon_thum :wsmile:

If the raffle includes woodworking classes, are you implementing a better way to handle class awards when the initial winner can't attend? The last raffle seemed kind of messy. You could do something like select a list of runner ups with the initial drawing and start collecting responses of who can attend in case the winner can't make it.

 

[McRabbet]

We do have woodworking classes in the prize pool and this time, the ticket winner gets to select the class they wish to take from the vendor's schedule, up to the value of the prize. This should preclude any issues with scheduling conflicts. I assure you that the winners will not be disappointed!
