Bose Charity Raffle - 12/11/08 07:52 PM
Every year my wife and I try and help out a family in our local community either through our church or on our own. This year is a particularly bad year for the Northern Indiana area because of the impact of economy on the RV and Mobile Home Industry. Already this year over 3000 jobs have been lost in our small town alone. My goal is to try and raise enough money to help 5 families instead of just one. I am going to offer this R. Bose 3" Shadow pattern with D2 up for raffle. There will only be 10 people in the drawing, so your chances are good. Once I have received 10 emails I will place the names in a hat and have my daughter draw the name out. Tickets are $100 ea. and %100 will go towards helping out some great families.
Thanks in advance and have a Merry Christmas..
Randy

Well! Just tickle me runnin'! The last thing I won was a free pizza where I work about 8 years ago; and prior to that I won a plastic model of the Atlas(I think)rocket that sent the astronauts to the moon from a picture show drawing in the 1960's.
In honor of the bladebrother spirit of giving, and in order to stoke the holiday fire, I am going to donate this Bose trapper back to Randy's good cause, and ask him to raffle it again, please.
Thanks for the good thoughts from all of you here, and top o' the season to you all! Keep the spirit alive.

Ford,
I for one am proud of you. I would hope most would do the same thing but I'm glad you took the lead role. God bless you and thanks for stepping up to a worthy cause.
Very best,
Warren

WOW Ford 
I would normally say how surprised I am by such of generous offer..but..in this case, coming from a "Knife Guy", this does not surprise me a bit. I had a bit of a rough growing up as a kid, not unlike a lot of kids from a poor southern Indiana town, and it made me a bit callused. I can count on a couple of fingers the number of times I have cried since I was a kid. Once each, when both my girls were born, when my favorite dog died and now today..
You all are truly a bunch of wonderful guys and fill my heart with hope..
Ok..I will do this again, starting Saturday morning. Thanks again guys!!
Love You All,
Randy

Ford,

Randy, the money for this one will be sent this morning!

Randy,
Your kind words are as generous as your raffle here. I feel lucky to be a small part of your humanitarian project, and fortunate to share in the spirit shown by all the other folks who also posted for the Bose.
