1st Maine Monument Raffle

Re: 1st Maine Monument Raffle

Hey All,
I wanted to give you all an update on the raffle. The drawing was to be held this weekend at the Unison event, but Nick Duvall, who holds most of the ticket stubs was not able to attend. We have to get all the ticket stubs together in one place to make sure everyone has a chance to win, so we will postpone the drawing for a couple of days. We will have the drawing done, and will post the results by Thursday at the latest (providing the hurricane doesn't wash us all out to sea). Thanks to all of you for your support, and for your patience!

Take care,
Tom Craig
