    The MACNA raffle page is now up and running:
    http://www.macna2011.com/Raffle/RaffleItems.aspx
    It's a bit thin still because we are just getting started.    We have a number of commitments for some huge prizes, but we are waiting for the fine details before we add them to the page.    Expect it to grow by leaps and bounds over the next few weeks.
    And for those of you who are counting, MACNA 2011 starts in a little over 2 months.

    Nice!  There are already a few things on that list that I would love to have!  I've never been able to attend a MACNA before, but for this one I've already got my full pass and room reservations so bring on MACNA!

    We just got some more donations. I haven't added them to the site yet, but I will sometime today (hopefully).

    Unfortunately it's not any of the big stuff that we know is coming, but it's really nice stuff none the less!

    I want that little nano tank bad!!!

    How will the raffle work? Do you submit the tickets to the items you want or does all of it go into a huge bin?

    We've had some more really great stuff donated this week, I'll be posting some of it tonight. I'm waiting on the fine details for the rest of it, but hopefully I'll have most of it posted on the raffle site this weekend. One really cool item is a custom 100G acrylic rimless tank with custom stand & sump from Reef Savvy Aquarium Builders.

    It's probably not a MACNA record, but it's a GIRS record by at least an order of magnitude. We're still hoping to cross $50K when it's all said and done.

    Check out the 3 top raffle prizes? I'd love to win ANY of those.

    Several more donations over the weekend.... We're at over $37K now. We'll probably cross the $40K mark by the end of the week.

    It's not up on the raffle page yet, but we have a vendor who is going to be donating 40 to 50 corals to the raffle.

    Ok, it's been another great week for the raffle. We are now over $40K in value with 260 items up for grabs. The crazy thing? Less than 1/3 of the vendors have donated so far!

    Remind me again why you aren't going to attend MACNA? /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    The last couple of days have been big for the raffle. We're not at over $45K and I still have a couple thousand $$ worth of products to add.

    I just added over $900 in coral from Jason Fox Signature corals and over $3500 worth of product from Bulk Reef Supply.

    This raffle is going to be CRAZY.
