Don't forget we have the charity raffle during this weekend! So bring those $1, $5, $10, $20s (US, Euros, GBP, Canadian, accepted) - we've got 4 great Chicago-area charities that are helping kids & underpriviledged youth that we've identified to receive the funds.

And we've got some great prizes such as a Kindle, portable dvd player, high-end noise-cancelling earbuds, a 3-night stay at the Springhill Suites in Las Vegas, a $100 Hyatt gift certificate & more!

So - I want you to show me (and my volunteers) the money! The more you donate, the more the charities receive! At StarMegaDo1 we raised close to $5,000 from 250 people. I'm hoping we can at least match that, if not more, since we have double the FTers attending. You can do it. I have total faith in you.

We won't take no for an answer so bring those $$! Nope we do not take credit cards

We'll be selling raffle tickets all day Saturday (and I'll probably start on Friday night at the bar - be forewarned). Raffle prize drawing is Sunday morning - and yup, you must be present to win.

Cheers.
