Wow! Two really great firsts in one day... an ATP raffle win and my first Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) bloom in person. They are also simulcasting its opening from CSUS if your interested. (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/...) Just imagine The smell of two diapers that have been in your car for an hour or so in summer while you look at the flower and you'll get the idea. Congratulations to all the other winners.

Woo-hoo-hoo! I was working when I saw that I had won and had to squelch my enthusiasm until I was free. All of the sponsors are fantastic and I am very very excited. I almost always buy a few tickets and never really expect to win; just having fun. Boy did I get a surprise this time!
Thanks Dave and family and thank you to all of those great sponsors with their incredibly generous prizes!

Thank you Dave & Trish & family! Thank You!

Thanks to all the wonderful sponsors who donated so generously! Thank You! Thank You!

Last but certainly not least I would like to thank each & every member who unselfishly spent their time arranging for the sponsors. And not just the members who did that for this Not-A-Raffle but to every member who has done it for any of the raffles we have had. You all work very hard behind the scenes anonymously. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I tip my hat to you.

Ya'll don't be afraid to contact the companies directly and thank them for participating. And if you ever order from them (and don't we all? Smiling ) do let them know that you appreciate their giving prizes to ATP.
