The 2013 Win Me Raffle is SOLDOUT
Our fund raising program for 2013 will draw for early bird prizes in November 2012, and May 2013, before drawing for the grand prize – A Restored Luscombe 8A with electrical system (N77917), in late 2013. A big change is the reduction in the total available Tickets to 1500 total entries and adjustment of the ticket pricing to offset the reduced number of entries. These changes were undertaken to shorten the length of drawing, and to reduce the administrative costs. Your donations and purchases provide tax deductible support to the Luscombe Endowment for its historic preservation, Luscombe support and public educational activities.
We have also increased the single entry price for participation from $45 to $100 for a single ticket so as to minimize the costs of promotion, advertising, and processing; We believe this will also shorten the time to the next drawing. Ticket sales tally: only ZERO remain, with 1500 sold as of December 1, 2013.
Our normal process of having the Ticket sales audited and verified by our accountant is underway and we expect to be performing the drawing and notify winners in December.
N77917 will be receiving a complete annual inspection before being presented to its new owner.
