Some of you may know the great work the Saga Society does with the animals on the island and they are holding their annual fundraiser this weekend at Royal Palm Villas for anyone that is on the island.

But for those that aren't and would like to help this cause, we have taken some beautiful artwork from among the auction items donated, and created an Internet Raffle for you to enter. Marty has kindly put this site together for us in rapid time so please visit http://ambergriscaye.com/sagasociety/raffle.html
for your chance to win these beautiful prints. Thanks in advance for your support.

We have a surgical table here in the garage, for Bron. During "Keith", we had some wonderful connections to get supplies down...these "connections" have recently (and convienantly) disappeared....it would be costly to ship it...big and heavy...so if anyone has a connection w/Fed Ex etc....that would like to help out, let us know rickcheri@hotmail.com or other ideas...we'll get it there, one way or another!!! We always do!! This table will be a tremendous help to her/Saga!!! C&R

I just bought some tickets! Fingers are crossed XXXXX. Maybe one of Silk's paintings will be hanging in our house soon!

Kathy

KC-- We bought tickets too! If you win and we don't, can we come visit the art?
I promise I will write you back soon. Sorry for the delay...

Vicky, You bet! And if you win, I get to come visit at your house! You are welcome any time. I think I'm going down just after Thanksgiving for about a week. More stuff to do. Oh, darn!!

Have you seen our webpage? I'm thinking one of Silk's paintings would look just awesome in our "fish bedroom"!

Kathy

We purchased some as well. Great cause, great prizes.
Can we come visit both of you, "win or lose"?
lol
Good luck to all!
Sincerely,
Hope

Hopie -- win or lose, you can always visit.

Kathy

To the top! One more week before they draw the winner!

It could be you! And it is for the SAGA Society.

Kathy

Wow, I didn't know that anyone had posted my donation on the net. I'll be donating more prints to the Placencia fundraiser that will be at The Hideaway. I don't know the exact date (sometime in November). If anyone wants to see my newly updated website (though, always unfinished and under construction) the web address is http://www.caribbean-colors.com Right now I'm subletting Amy Brown's apartment, beachfront, between The Palms and The Belizean Reef, first floor. In December I'll be moving to The John Greif apartments right next door to BCs. Stop in to my place and say hi (always messy and stacked with art)!
--Silk

Silk,
Anytime your art is in a raffle, please do let us know! I'll always buy a few tickets. And I hope to see you when I come down (end of Nov/first of Dec).

Kathy

KC- I'm donating some prints to the Nov 3 Placencia fundraiser at The Hideaway also that is being done by Rick and Cheri. Hope to meet you when you're here.
-Silk

Rick/Cheri -- Is there time for me to buy a few raffle tickets? Say, $20 worth? Let me know and I'll zip a check to you.

OK, i might need help w/this one!!! If we were going to raffle them or just sell them w/proceeds going to relief? Let me talk to the "girls" and get back to you!! SILK...what do you think??? C

People love raffles.
-Silk

Rick and Cheri... My thoughts on the donation from Silkpainter, for the Placencia fund raiser would be to do it as a raffle. That provides an opportunity for more people to participate. Yes, it does involve more work for the organizers but potential is there for more funds to be raised with the raffle.

PS Yes, I bought some tickets for this draw... and like everyone else have my fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones..

Cheers Gail

OK.....Raffle it is!!!!

Hi to all those who purchased tickets in the raffle. The raffle officially closed on Sunday 28th so we were unable to accept any more submissions after that but Bron has been away for a few days so we have yet to pull the winner. I am hoping to do this in the next couple of days and will email the winners.

Many thanks to you all.

YIKES! My fingers are still crossed.
Pick me!
Pick me!
Pick me!

KC, are you trying to get the judges to notice you? Well, if you think that will help....
pick me,
pick me,
pick me!!!!!
We will all keep our fingers crossed!!!!!

YES! I was trying to get their attention. Didn't you see my arm stuck in the air, waving wildly???

Maybe we could *both* win?

KC

I just got an email from Bron and the drawing has been postponed until Nov 22. She has been ill and out of pocket. Don't
give up just have patience.

hmmm. I'm very sorry that Bron has been ill. Hope she is better soon. I'm not sure why drawing a piece of paper needs to be postponed for 3 weeks, but... I'll bet there is a very good reason. It's OK -- I'll be there on the 24th to claim my prints!

Kathy

Hi everyone.

I am pleased to announce that we made the draw this lunchtime and the lucky winners are :
1st place - Joanne Kesteloot
2nd place - Rhonda Smith
3rd place - Hope Walters

Congratulations to our winners who will be receiving their prizes as soon as the Belize Post Office will allow. Any thanks again to everyone who entered.

WOW!!!!
Never thought I would win!! I am looking forward to getting the prints!!

JoAnn K.

Do I choose which ones I want...how does this work?

With all the delays in drawing this, we were going to try and get them out asap so "we" thought Parrotfish and Snapper would be the first prize. If you would prefer something different then email me at gecko@btl.net and I will let Bron know.

Congrats

Those are the ones that I would have picked!! Thank-you so much. I was happy to contribute to such a good cause. I was on AC for the first time November 21 - 28. I know it will not be the last. I am already looking forward to coming back!
