I just invested $40.00 for this effort! Awfully nice to have a SSR donated to the SA:
________________________________________________

NeSmith Chevrolet Buick GMC on Highway 280 West in Claxton has announced it will raffle off a “Slingshot Yellow” 2004 Chevrolet SSR to try to raise $50,000 for the Salvation Army of Savannah.

The raffle kicked off at NeSmith Chevrolet’s 100th anniversary celebration on Saturday. The dealership’s goal is to sell 2,500 raffle tickets at $20 apiece.

Ya but it can be painted with a brush or roller.

The S/A is the only group that I see doing real help for our local needy people.

I've just about got the route I'm going to drive back finalized - 8 or 9 days - as little interstate as possible...!

But first - at least two meals in the Savannah area!

I never did hear from anyone there as to rules. So I will just donate elsewhere. Too bad, I like those kinds of raffles.

Focks · 12-01-2011, 02:27 PM

If you go through Paypal it says donation... how are you buying the tickets?

kwhopper89 · 12-01-2011, 02:49 PM

I paid via PayPal - had paper tickets in my hand 3 or 4 days later...

RUN ROD RUN · 12-01-2011, 03:21 PM

I paid by using PayPal last night. Got A copy of the ticket this AM with a request to reply to that email with my phone number (so that she can call me to let me know I won)

Focks · 12-01-2011, 04:10 PM

Okay,.. well Leigh called me back, and I ended up buy my raffle tickets through her.

RUN ROD RUN · 12-05-2011, 09:34 PM
