Sith Charity Ball and Raffle

[dancerjodi]

Hey Folks! Please find information on the Friday night Sith Charity Ball at http://2008.arisia.org/SithBall . There will be lots of cool things to see on opening night - we hope to see you there!

There will be raffle tickets for sale at the ball and at the 501st/Rebel Legion fan table on Saturday - all proceeds benefit the Make a Wish Foundation. Our drawing will be held at the 3:00 PM Fandom and Charity panel on Saturday (you do not need to be present to win - prizes will be claimed in the Ops office). Tickets will be 2/$5 except for some very cool special prizes which will have their own drawings (tickets for those prizes are $5 each). The list of prizes is quite impressive and is growing!

Thanks for catching that! The link was added later on and I think the person that added it wasn't sure what was going on. The subsequent page has the info correct (I just e-mailed the con chair about fixing it).

You're welcome!

I haven't noticed any mention of how we're selling tickets Friday night. Is another fan group or the Arisia staff handling that?

I'm going to figure that out on Friday. We'll be collecting for photos with Jabba too, so I'm figuring we'll have a small table at the corner of the stage in the ballroom to do all of that.

Whoever is at the fan table on Saturday will be selling them.

More details on the forums :)

What? Dancer waiting until the last minute for something? *shocked*

I've been following the threads on the forums through the daily digests. I just haven't been signing in to comment.

I'm happy to help you out with ticket sales on Friday night, provided it's somewhat organized and I don't have to go person to person. :) I don't have any money or cool toys to donate, but I can at least volunteer my time. (And I tend to prefer being a wallflower at dances anyway!)

No, its more of an issue of few people jumping up to commit to particular things at Arisia so I'm preparing mentally for the worst (doing it all myself) and hoping for the best (that there will be plenty of folks who I can grab in the moment). I know there will be bodies there, so I'll bring a table, a chair, the raffle book, tickets and envelopes (for cash and deposited tickets) and it should be pretty easy for anyone to just sit there and follow.

Now how we're doing the drawing/rewarding, that is something that's all neatly and anally planned already. Its all about simplifying and trying to make everyone's lives easier. :)
