As many of you guys probably already know......one of our local loggers was badly injured in the woods a few months ago. We figured we could help the guy out by offering a few saws to raffle off. Well.......I'm gonna be honest and throw the cards on the table here. So far the total in donations on this drawing don't even begin to cover the value of the saws. 
We are gonna try again. The folks that have donated to this cause so far will have their donation amount doubled to double their odds of winning. The reason for doubling the previous donators chances is that we are changing the drawing date to coincide with the West KY GTG. I figure that would be more than fair to those guys.
Just to be clear.........If You Donated Before This Thread Was Posted You Will Have Your Raffle Tickets Doubled!!!!!

Now before anyone starts thinking that 'Ol Randy has stepped in here and is stomping on toes with my ideas......rest assured that I've spoken with Terry, Woodchuck'r, and Wiggs. The facts are that all we want is to raffle off some saw and get the most help for Mitch that we can by doing so.
The first prize is a nearly new Husqvarna 562XP Those was donated by an anonymous member.
The new owner can decide whether or not he or she would like this saw stock or modded. I would be the guy doing the mods BTW.
The second prize is a very nice Husqvarna Closed Port 55. Wigglesworth has donated this saw and offered to port it or leave it stock......the new owner decides. Wiggs would be doing the mods on this one.
I'll have to get Jer to post up a pic of this saw.
Third is a Minty J'red 490 that WoodChuck'r has donated to the cause. He asked me if I would be willing to port this saw if the new owner desired and of course I agreed. Again......that's up to the winner of the saw.
We need Chuck'r to send a pic of this one as well.
And last is a Partner S65 that I built for the 4 cube event at the TN GTG. It didn't win but has cut sub 3 second times in 10X10 cants......a strong running cookie cutter for sure.
Here it is pulling a 9 pin rim in pine......

Terry will be extending the date on the WePay so it will run until October 26, with the drawing to be held on October 27 during the GTG.
