    consider purchasing a raffle ticket.    We are pleased to announce
    this year's Orchid Raffle in conjunction with the Tucson Orchid Event
    in February. 

    As the Ganoksin Raffle Organizer, I wish to thank the sponsors of
    the Orchid Raffle.  You don't have to attend the Orchid dinner in
    order to participate in the raffle! 

    This year, many suppliers who are also Orchid Forum members have
    come together, donating tools and equipment to outfit a jewelry
    studio. The list is extensive, and there is something for everybody
    who works in a studio or takes classes in a school. The winner will
    be drawn on the night of the Tucson Orchid Event Dinner, Saturday,
    Feb. 5th! 

    Raffle tickets are $39 apiece. 

    All proceeds will go to offset the maintenance costs of Ganoksin
    which provide you with Orchid every day. 

    This is your chance to win these amazing prizes. The total value of
    the prizes is $8,208.93! 

    One Winner Takes All!!!

    3)  Help Ganoksin Stay Healthy and Strong! 

    Get involved in the Silent Auction at the 10th Annual Tucson Dinner
    2006. Proceeds from the Silent Auction benefit Ganoksin's continued
    growth of archives and galleries. You can get involved by donating an
    item to the auction or by bidding on them at the Orchid Event. 

    Donations may be in the form of artwork, tools, books, gemstones,
    services, or any other items relating to metalsmithing. In years
    past, the most popular items have been hand-made tools, but there are
    lots of things that you can donate for the auction. Consider donating
    a copy of your favorite metalsmithing book, or an original piece of
    your metalwork. Casting services, advertising, and other services are
    also hot items! 

    Ganoksin exists to facilitate information sharing, jewelry research
    and to publish current articles from many major publications in the
    industry.
