Due to the overwhelming positive manufacturer response to the raffle for
the legal expenses incurred by the sport rocket community, we've decided
to extend the deadline to buy tickets. There are some really tremendous
prize packages being assembled by our raffle team, all due to the
generosity of the sport rocket manufacturing community. To make sure as
many people have opportunities to purchase tickets as possible, we'll be
asking our local clubs to consider making raffle tickets available at
their upcoming launches. We'll also be making special arrangements at
national events this summer to promote the tickets.
However, all good things can't go on forever, so we're setting the new time limit in a slightly different way. Raffle ticket sales will be cut off at $40,000. When we have sold that amount, we'll cease selling raffle tickets, get an announcement back out to all raffle ticket holders, and conduct the raffle within 10 days. If sales fail to reach the $40,000 target, then the final date for ticket sales will be at the end of the NAR National Model Rocket Championships (NARAM), August 5, 2005.
Manufacturers have responded to the challenge of protecting our hobby with their generous donations. Why not show your support, and perhaps sweeten your range box or workshop with some really excellent rocketry merchandise? You can see the great list of donations from 27 generous vendors at:

and you can purchase tickets online with either a credit card or via PayPal at:

And don't forget that every time you buy 5 tickets, we throw in ticket #6 for free!
Please help support the fight to protect your rights to a safe, educational and fun hobby.
