UPDATE: WINNERS ANNOUNCED! Support Women in Numismatics' (WIN) Summer Seminar Scholarship Raffle

ThePennyLady

As President of Women In Numismatics, I am once again very pleased to announce a fun and easy way for you to get involved in supporting numismatic education! Each year, WIN pays for one lucky numismatist’s tuition and board for a semester at the American Numismatic Association’s annual Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs – and we need your help to keep this amazing scholarship program going.

We’re holding a 25-25/50 raffle fundraiser, which means TWO lucky winners will each walk away with 25% of the total raffle ticket sales, and 50% will go directly to WIN’s scholarship program to ANA's Summer Seminar. Tickets are only $1 each or 6 for $5. So pick up a ticket or two for your chance to "win" while supporting WIN!

You can pm or email me at charmy@thepennylady.com and I will give you details on where to send your contribution. I will also be selling tickets at the ANA Summer Seminar next week, as well as during the summer Baltimore show in July, and throughout the Chicago ANA in August. The drawing will be held on SATURDAY, AUGUST 15 - and WINNERS NEED NOT BE PRESENT. Last year, two forum members - Rick Sear and Larry Hair - both won the raffle, so don't pass up an opportunity to be part of this worthwhile fundraiser, and perhaps wind up with a few extra coin spending bucks!

Thank you!!

P.S. I can also take payment for the tickets through my PayPal address as a "gift" payment: charmy@thepennylady.com

No worries, Rick, there will be plenty of wine, and I will have a large glass waiting just for you!

It's cool you do this Charmy.

WIN had lots of ticket sales at the ANA Summer Seminar, so keep it up folks!

FYI, in addition to sending a check to my p.o. box, I will gladly take payment for the raffle tickets through PayPal as a "gift" payment: charmy@thepennylady.com

Tanks again everyone!

My tickets came in the mail today. I'm feeling lucky.

Just thought I'd remind everyone that we're on the last two weeks before the drawing at the ANA! I will be selling tickets throughout the show in Chicago, TABLE 1325. WIN would love to have your support, just stop by my table or pm/email me if you'd like to purchase any raffle tickets. Remember, winners need not be present, we will notify the two winners. Thank you again for all your support!

ThePennyLady

Just wanted to thank everyone again for all your generous support of Women in Numismatics' Summer Seminar scholarship. We raised $840. The first ticket drawn (not by me) was actually my own ticket, so we just tossed that one and drew another ticket. Bill Anderson (Penny Guy) won 25% and Mary Burleson of Whitman Publishing won the other 25% (Mary very kindly and generously donated her share back to WIN).

So if you're a WIN member, be sure to review the requirements and apply for our scholarship!!

Again, thank you all for your generosity!!
