Flashlight Enthusiast
Attention Fellow Flashaholics:
Lets have some fun!
I have deposited $100 with The Battery Station to be used as a prize for a fundraising raffle. Tickets are $5.00 each. The winner gets to spend $100 on anything they want that is listed on the Battery Station Website, including anything from the Candle Power Forums members only specials page. There is a BUNCH of neat stuff for sale there - and Kevin has offered free domestic shipping for the winner!!

All proceeds will be divided evenly between our beloved CPF
(to help with the considerable expense of keeping this wonderful forum online)
and
Operation Enlightenment II For those who are not familiar with Operation Enlightenment (and don't want to read through the entire thread), It all started when a member of the USAF 64th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron joined CPF to ask some questions about quality flashlights. Once CPF found out that these guys were being issued WWII era portable lighting equipment, we decided to "help out" a bit.
Actually we "adopted" the entire squadron. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The membership of CPF got a bit carried away, and sent over literally dozens of assorted flashlights,
and batteries, and containers of coffee... we had a great time. When the stuff finally arrived in Iraq,
the Predator group had a bit of a photon party.
That "great Flashlight Party" occurred several months ago, and most of the fine folks in the photo have already rotated home - or to other locations in Iraq. Operation Enlightenment continues as a small hardcore band of flashaholics continues to send the best lights we get our hands on - to the newbies who are rotating into the adopted squadron. This costs money - hence this fundraiser raffle.
Regarding "The Prize"
CPF has hosted a number of Auctions and Raffels - with some pretty neat prizes. This is the first raffle in which you get to CHOSE YOU OWN PRIZE.
SOME OF the items you can chose from are:
Our very own (well kept) Serving Wench will be selecting the winner sometime after
Sunday May 23, 8:00p.m. CPF board time.
Lets have some fun:
Even if you cannot afford to buy a ticket, please post what YOU would buy if you won.
Example:
"I would buy one Pelican M6 incan AND one Pelican M6 LED AND a whole handful of batteries."
*** By the way: The Battery Station has much more than "just" batteries. They also have MANY flashlights by Pelican, Tek, Gerber, etc. Pelican storage cases. So if you are currently all stocked up on batteries, you can enter to win your choice of FLASHLIGHTS! ***
Let the fun begin. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
