I suggest a football raffle where proceeds may be split between the raffle winner and a sponsored recipient...

Im not overly charitable but if I was I currently know fellow locators in financial hardship who also could use assistance...

My suggestion is a raffle scenario where instead of relying on patronizing an unsure cause just like these guys I stated who could have done better with there money management... I would be more inclined to play a part by sponsoring through a FAIR and JUST raffle rather than a direct charitable contribution...

I live in a one bedroom shoebox apartment and rarely go out by choice to acquire my menial possesions by sacrificing not having much of a life...

Just a thought , I ll leave the ball in our administrators court since he chose to bring the topic to the forefront...

It may require a little more effort on his part but I know he will make the right decision...

Sounds like a great idea.

I also think a volunteering of our moderators to help organize should nt be asking to much...

I think T bone is one of them...

Here's what started this thread. A fellow locator in need

I would have to agree that this would be a great idea. I'm thankful for my family being in the position we are in.

I found a good football pool software but it runs on .asp (a windows based server) and this site is run on a linux based server so I may have to start a whole new website to pull this off. Sounds like fun.

Here we go again!!!

How bout that new google browser just anounced???

Wonder what thats all about...

No... you misunderstand. I will not do anything to this site. I will start another site for the football pool only. One on an asp server.

This forum runs on Linux. It can't run on asp. the football software runs on asp, it can't run on Linux.

I am still lost, I thought the SIC! was referring to the 'Vine hosting a raffle of some sort to help out the member from Fla who is in bad shape?

**TheCableVine** · September 2nd, 2008, 10:38 AM

My understanding was to have a football pool. He did use the word raffle but if I can get some software that will handle it all, then that will be all that much better. AND... it will run weekly with minimal effort. Minimal effort is my middle name.

Here is what USIC1 wrote this is why Spray is confused ..............I suggest a football raffle where proceeds may be split between the raffle winner and a sponsored recipient...

**USIC1** · September 2nd, 2008, 07:58 PM

I dont get it?!?!?

Okay pool/raffle whatever...

Before setting up something I would suggest a pool I mean poll(that damn spray) to see how many would be interested...

What kind of traffic is on this site that would even consider it???

Lets not get hasty run out and waste time until there are significant interested participants...A tossing out of the idea and awaiting interest for a week or 2 and maybe by that time the sponsee will have passed on and we can have a bigger kitty...

Just a thought...
