    I have been contacting our sponsors for raffle donations for the Spring & Fall Fests.
    Here is the response I got back from Air Water Ice.

    "Hi Craig,
     
     Your members have continued to use the discount code we have provided making purchases totaling over $650 so far this year!! That's amazing!


     We would love to donate our Extreme Typhoon III ($269.95) and a Mighty Mite with DI ($109.95). One unit per festival."
    And from XM lighting
    "Hey Craig,
    We would love to continue sponsoring your club. I'll have a few raffle items sent out to you. Its actually funny because I have your little postcard on my desk and I looked up at it and then I had a message from you in my inbox. Last time we sent items do you remember what we sent and which lamps were more popular? I'm trying to get a feel for what people want.
    Dan"
    So keep in mind when you are making your purchases to remind

    Craig, that is great news and thank you for all your hard work! You have always been instrumental in bringing in speakers, vendors etc. I will be sure to put in an order with AWI when I replenish my RO supplies.

    Wow they are willing to donate nearly $400 bucks in merchandise on only $650 in sales. That's quite amazing!

    I think half of that was from my AWESOME Typhoon that is so simple to install and operate. 0 TDS out of the DI side! Thank you AWI

    I wasn't knocking it, simply saying that they are pretty generous. Super great company I have been happy with them. Just have a look at some of my previous posts. They hooked me up helping me fix/replace filters on a USED unit where they had no obligation whatsoever!

    By the way, how do you put the discount code in? I was unsuccessful and need to order up some more filters/resin soon.

    I have always put it in at the checkout & it has taken it. I have also ordered over the phone the old fashioned way & they took it off when I told them I was from GIRS

    Do you enter it where the "gift certificate" slot is at the end of the order?

    Woot! I like anybody that helps me save $$$! Thanks for the effort!

    I'll note too: as I'm getting ready to spend a big 'ol pile of money on this new tank, our sponsers are the first places I am shopping.
