Hey Tom... pizza contributions are welcomed.  You can pickup those 30 raffle tickets when you get here.  Buying that many will pretty much guarantee that you go home with some pretty sweet prizes... maybe even that home computer... good luck... wink

Are you SERIOUS?  I'm tossin away close to $900 worth of goodies... and that calculates into a few thousand tickets sold.  I like what you're saying, but I honestly DONT see that happenin.  Somebody's goin home with some way cool and expensive goodies for pennies on the dollar fur sure... wink
