Canoe Raffle!

The canoe that I have been working on for months is almost ready for a new home!  As I near completion I am beginning to develop my marketing plan to help spread the word.  The canoe is a school sponsored project and all proceeds will be donated directly back into the Woodshop fund.  This whole operation is my Senior project.  All seniors are required to build something related to their research topic in order to graduate.  This is my way of giving back to the community in which I’ve spent all my life.  Freeland has treated me well and I’m excited to show my support in this way.  Here are a few important things to keep in mind if you are interested in the raffle.

• Tickets cost $5 each
• They are available for sale at the Freeland High School front office, or you can buy them online with your PayPal account here. Don’t have a PayPal account? Create one here **Note: PayPal takes out $0.45 per transaction.  Therefore, your donation of a ticket online will earn the schools woodshop $4.55 instead of the full $5.  Payment is up to your discretion.
• The canoe is 16 ft long
• Handcrafted,  made of Cedar strips and covered in fiberglass
• Completely one-of-a-kind
• When completed it will be fully functional.
• The drawing will be held May 17, 2009 at the FHS Senior Award Ceremony.  The winner will be contacted by phone following the ceremony.
• Ticket purchasers MUST be within driving range of Freeland, have relative/friend in the community OR be able to provide FULL transportation of canoe if otherwise.
• **The winner is responsible for transportation of the canoe or possibly compromising with me.

I will transport the canoe to local events and stores to advertise.
