[ Closed ] In the year 2015... (Page 1 of 2)

I love the lottery ticket idea, Robby.

I know that for some people finances are tight and the word "donate" can be daunting, because the word itself is vague so people sometimes imagine a larger dollar amount than they can afford.

The ticket idea really breaks it down.  Even is someone is strapped hard for money, the cost of one ticket isn't much (a fancy coffee, really), and still helps.

I would love to donate a whip!  What is the time frame?  I don't know how a whip from a unknown maker such as my self, monetary wise,  but I believe in the cause and would love to be a part. 

All I need is maybe a month or two before the shipping day to get a whip built.  And is it my choice on style, length, etc?

Well, Dogs are very important to me.  My Daisy dog is my first born:-)  And I consider her human!

Sounds good. I'll buy some tickets.

Einar! That's great! Thank you for doing this. I know how busy you are and so it's even better! Topher - thanks to you, too! I more than appreciate your help!

And how to proceed...? Well. I thought, we're going to do the whole raffle/lottery thing next year in july. That means that there are (including this year december) eight (8) month of time to create the whips. After the drawing the whips will be sent directly from the respective whip maker to the winners.

BUT the winner will take care of the shipping costs, then! It would be a little bit too much to expect that the whip makers give away a piece of art, that costs a lot of time and passion and pay for the shipping.

Thanks for your feedback. And I really hope that there will be more posts on that!

Thank you for the Thanks, Fritz But - serious - It's nothing. All I do, is to post some messages, that's it. If I write about whips, the weather or my garden - it takes all the same amount of time. The real heroes here are the whip makers who donate their work and the folks who're going to buy a ticket. But definately not me.

And there's someone who is working behind the curtain. Roy Partin. He already sent me some money as donation from the whips, he's actually making. I'll wait until I have a few bucks together and I'll send it in one "package". And - of course - I'll post the donation receipt, here.

Robby, can I send you the money now while I am thinking about it?  Or should I wait till it gets closer?

Robby, Do you want a picture of the whips up for raffle?  If so, when?

I think it's great that you have taken the initiative to take care of that side of things, and couldn't think of a better person to do so. I've got no problems with this whatsoever.
