I've mentioned before here that

Ticket Prices:
1 ticket - $1
6 tickets - $5
13 tickets - $10
30 tickets - $20
Tickets can be purchased by either sending cash or a check to me (through the mail or in person), or via Paypal. Since Paypal does take a cut from each transaction, if you wish to pay via Paypal you do need to purchase a minimum of $10 in tickets.
If you want to purchase tickets, please leave a comment here telling me how many tickets you are purchasing, and how you plan on paying. Send paypal payments to arnis_public*at*comcast.net - or if you want to send a payment in the mail, mention that and I'll send you my address.
We'll be at our table all weekend at Arisia; the raffle itself will be held Sunday, January 15, in the early afternoon. If you are not able to attend, we will contact you after the fact to inform you of your win and make arrangements to get the prize to you. Unfortunately, we cannot sell tickets for specific prizes, but prizes can be swapped.
If you have any questions, let me know - and if you think you know anyone else who might be interested, feel free to spread the word far and wide.
Thanks!
