Kreindler Raffle, all paid

[Iron Horse]

Hi Bill,
Now that we have reached and gone over the magic 250 number what happens. This will remain open till the 300 number is reached? What happens if it falls short.
Thanks

[thecatspajamas]

Hi Ruben,
Since Bill is out of pocket until this afternoon, I'll jump in on this one. Now that we have reached the magic 250, the raffle is a definite go. Any entries beyond 250 go towards increasing the painting size beyond the base 16x20 size that was set for the minimum 250 entries.

I'll get with Bill this evening to add upsize possibilities for the entries beyond 250, but the basic idea is that each entry adds approximately 1.25 square inches of canvas (based on Graig's current rates).

Edited to add: I just realized that never actually addressed your original question: since we hit the 250 mark, there is no "falling short" from this point on. It's just a question of how much larger the winner's painting will be. We could very well go beyond 300 total entries sold.

And remember, the larger the canvas, the greater the possibilities as to content.

[Iron Horse]

Thank you Lance for the explanation

I am finally back, long day.

It was pointed out to me I made a mistake in giving a member one enty, when he asked for 2.
Thank goodness it was one of the most recent entries.
According to the rules, the original poster, who was JB217676. I game him entry 234, and he should have gotten 234 and 235, which are his, and I will move the 4 entries behind him, down one spot.
IThat means, Wite will be moved from 235 to 236, catspajamas will be moved from 236 to 237, and Hot Springs Bathers two entries of 237 and 238, will be moved to 238 and 239.
That is according to the rules so my apologies goes out to all the above for my error, but right is right.
The other more recent entries were never posted as yet and will be in there proper spots.

[billyb]

While I was out, to come back to what is now, a good raffle.

Balltrash, I got you for two

BILLYH, Wow, Wow, Wow. 10 it is

MPG, Two more it is


Good luck to you three

AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED. THE VERY BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYBODY.

I will be back with some further information when I converse with Lance and Graig, we will be setting up a final date when entries can be purchase, and what ever numbers we have, then we can figure out what additional numbers each member will get. But first, I will correct my error.

Bill

Ruben,
Two more for you, Good luck

Shernan30, Steven, two for you also.

Good luck to both of you

[billyb]

OKAY,
WE WILL KEEP SALES GOING UNTIL SAT 4/16 8pm, WHEN IT WILL STOP THEN.
WE WILL THEN FIND OUT HOW MANY ENTRIES THERE ARE AT THAT TIME, AND WE CAN THEN FIGURE OUT YOUR ADDITIONAL NUMBERS.

It is easy to figure out, if we get, an additional 40 entries, then 290 is our number. #1 will get 291, and 581. #2 would get 292 and 582, ETC...

Just think, if you do not like the number you may be getting, JUST BUY ANOTHER ENTRY.....lol. THIS COULD GET INTERESTING.

BILL

ONE ITEM I FORGOT

With the deadline on Saturday April 16, at 8PM, all payments are due by April 23, 8PM.

IMPORTANT, Please DO NOT use any terminology regarding a raffle or tickets, chances, or anything of the sort. Painting fees, Consignment fee, Artwork, will all work well. On line companies refrain from any type of gaming, and could jamb up the process. Payments can be sent to gkreindler@gmail.com

Thank You

[Majestic]

I would like 5 entries please. Payment on the way. Thanks for the opportunity.

[murphusa]

Fred,
You are in for 5......Good luck and welcome back

[billyb]

Jim,
When I hear from Graig I will mark you paid, notation made in my written record
Jim,
Got it.

[Leon]

I said I would take one in the other thread which probably broke a rule I didn't read. At any rate, I am in for a total of 3....thanks

[billyb]

Leon,
No problem, I entered your one additional when I seen it. That thread needed a bump anyways. Three is what I have you for.

Good luck Leon. And again, a big Thank You.

[slidekellyslide]

Payment made. It may show up as Toys From The Past. I put a note in the message indicating who it was from.

Thanks! Good luck to all!

[billyb]

On the entry list, past 250 entries, I posted what size painting could be attained with x amount of entries.

This was created by Lance, THANK YOU LANCE, who is an important cog in the running of the raffle. Most of how this is run, was fine tuned Lance.

I would hate to even think of how this would be run without all his past help.

Bill

[yanks12025]

I sent payment.

To all who have sent messages and posted, stating you paid, thank you. Graig sends me a message on who he received payments from, and then I mark those members as paid.
I do place a mark on my written back up list, that I received a message of payment from you, but I cannot mark anyone paid until I get the confirmation from Graig.

TO ALL,

i MADE A GLARING ERROR WHICH AFFECTS ENTRIES 254 - 273.

Leon posted a request for an entry, and I placed his request in order on this thread, see post #206. his request followed MPG, and just ahead of Iron Horse.
I do not how I made the error, but I know I was very busy at that time, but no excuse, so my apologies to all involved.
By the rules, Leon gets his sequential number, in order as posted. His entry number is 254. All numbers 254 and above, will be moved up one number.
IronHorse had 254 - 255 .........now gets 255 - 256
Shernan30 had 256 - 257........now gets 257 - 258
Majestic had 258 - 262........now gets 259 - 263
catspajamas had 263 - 264....now gets 264 - 265
irishdenny had 265 - 269......now gets 266 - 270
BB Tourist had 270 - 271......now gets 271 - 272
Vince had 272...............now gets 273
SpaceTrack had 273..............now gets 274


Again, I apologize for the error.

[btcarfagno]
