WW2 Flamethrower Shoot and Display

[namedpipes]

Guys we are changing the Raffle end date to April 10th. Because we are releasing all the scheduling and Flamethrower group information to people the following Monday the 13th. So donate to the GoFundMe and have a final push. Every $25 enters you a chance to win. We also have 4 flamethrower spots open.

Point of confusion - Are we to enter our own names in the spreadsheet in post 1?

Nope, I have kept track of all the donations so far. I will add the names to a spreadsheet, assign numbers, and let a random number generator pick the number. Basically how we do karma threads here. Each $25 donation will give each person a slot. Hope that clears up any confusion.

You might want to add some 2xl in there as well. Lots of big guys in the community.

Guys we have four flamethrower spots left! Also we got two different proofs made up, these need to be ordered by this week. Please let me know which one you guys like more. If there is time we will get these ordered and will be for sale at the event for around $3-$5, they will be on keychains and not necklaces. Thanks for your input.

Update: The t-shirt preorders have been sorted and labeled!

We also have four flamethrower spots! Get one while you can!

Is there still room at this, or is it at capacity? I know I missed the raffle, but can I still make a donation and show up on Sat?
