Talking Renew Your Dues and get a chance to Win

Well in an attempt to get the majority of people to renew there dues for 2008 before the frag swap so we can have the cards made and also enjoy the swap I am offering a weeks vacation for a drawing in December. What I will do is draw one name other then mine out from the people that renew early. The weeks vacation will be a RCI week so the person who wins will have to contact them and get availability. You can see all the locations at www.rci.com There are a few fees that RCI charges that you will be have to pay when you book but I will donate the week. I have a few since we had to cancel our vacations on our timeshares this year. Any questions just post and I will try to answer them.

You can either PP or send it to me. The PP is easier but either works.

Some one had a problem with doing a membership with their spouse because the amount from the website if fixed. If you want you can directly PayPal your dues to M_T_R_C@yahoo DOT com. Also if you put your wife on I will put both names in the drawing.

Isn't this illegal? You're basically saying you cannot enter the contest unless you pay for your membership.

Federal Law states "A sweepstakes is a promotion in which a prize is awarded to a participant on the basis of chance, not skill. That prize can be monetary or non-monetary, such as free product or a trip. The sweepstakes sponsor cannot require people to purchase a product or to invest “considerable” time or effort in order to enter the sweepstakes."

I really hope you have a nice time be the raffle police for this club are there any others that you participate in also.

I vote we call this a "raffle" rather than a sweepstakes as HeadDoc has so kindly decided to brand it... That should avoid any silly issues.

If the cost of a ticket happens to equal the cost of a years worth of MTRC dues, I say "Wow - What a coincidence!!" You say the deadline for buying a ticket is the end of the year? Another coincidence...

If you really want in the "raffle", pony up and buy yourself a ticket - see the club membership as a free added bonus to your "raffle" ticket purchase...we're generous folk around these here parts.

Or we cancel any sweepstakes or raffle and if by chance I decide to give someone in the club a free weeks timeshare as a friend so be it.

I actually just saw this, my wife uses my account to browse around (She works for the Davidson county DA's office). She also mentioned that a "raffle" is technically illegal as well. If you call it a "Lottery" which is legal in the state of TN, then you shouldn't have any problems.

p.s.My wife posted, not me, LoL!

sorry for my wild imagination.....it seems to get a bit strange among others who are not willing to appreciate a nice gesture by another human being....no wonder sometimes why the world does not go around as nice as it used to be.....
THANKS Wayne.....OL' BRO....Scott and I will paypal you in the next day or 2 for our membership....

Wow!

May want to tell her to mention that next time.

If its illegal, its illegal. I doubt anyone will complain. Its not like a ton of money is being made here or anything. Just like people freak out about pirating Windows (of which I honestly don't )... its illegal, but most likely Microsoft is going to go after the multi-million dollar operations in South America before they come after a single Joe Blow.

Thanks Wayne, for doing this.
