The raffle idea is a great one for raising funds. I'm guessing that most of us saw the blowout for the 1 yr. anniversary of TPS? At $10 a donation they raised more than $3K. I'd donate some Cocobolo blanks for it.

Newby here, but I will donate a box of pen blanks to use as a prize. I have a lot of different types of lumber and cut my own blanks.

Ugly Pen Contest (my favorite!)

Honor the Rookie

Grungiest lathe/sloppiest (or neatest) work area

Blank in the Hat

BIG raffle!

Best Fix Job

Name the Pen Contest

Daily Trivia

Most Ridiculous Post

Slimline pen contest - anything goes!

Pen Around The World raffle

Guess the Member

We don't have to choose any specific number of these. We could do them all if we want to (but it would be a busy month!). We don't even have to do any of them! Please chime in and let em know what you think!

Scott,

I like the slimline contest. Since we would all start with the same kit, the only difference would be creativity with the blank and the turning. Three positive things would come from this:

1. We would all have a blast looking at what others have made.

2. We would improve our technique in both turning and blank creation.

3. We would get some wonderful ideas for future pens.

I would hope we would not limit the celebration to just one item, but I would have this at the top of my list (even though I would be a shoe-in to win messiest workshop).

Having just found out about this, I don't run around the forum reading everything.

I think it is a good idea and as a advertiser in the free biz classifieds that is the least I can do. Wish I had known earlier as I donated a new set of Left Hand golf clubs to the American Leagions Charity Tournament coming up. They weren't "Taylor Made" but still nice for a first time Hit and Search kinda guy.

As far as donating I will throw in a Flat Rate Box full of Pen Blanks and some CA Glue, and Epoxy and ship it to the winner of one of the draws or contest.

Gordon
