I thought it would be fun to organize a birthday raffle benefiting our beloved forum and try to raise a little bit of money to help our amazing webmaster by alleviating some of the financial costs of running, updating and maintaining it.

So here's the deal, my friends:

There is a Paypal donation button to the right of the page.
If you make a $5 donation between now and the end of March, you get one entry in the drawing.
You are not limited to $5 by any means!
You can get 2 entries for $10 etc ...
Forum members who are currently donors will automatically gain entries based on their current donations.


Yes but what about the prize????


US contestants can win a gigantic specimen size Encyclia Bractescens



More pictures of this overgrown fragrant (in spike now but not sure if they'll last until the end of March!) beauty.
It is mounted on a 1 foot x 6" piece of wood with too many pseudobulbs to count!

And the shipping is on me ... ooooh la la!

For our members who are not in the US,the prize is a $40 gift certificate for the online vendor of your choice (provided they offer Gift Certificates)

Not bad either! ...
So I encourage you to enter this raffle benefiting a forum that we all love and that we get so much out of.

(Since it is none of business to know who gives, how much etc, Bruce aka Brutal Dreamer will keep track of it all ...)

Good luck everyone!
