Shibata AS Tank Raffle for Feeding America

[XexoX]

Can't wait for you to draw my name! So exciting.

I feel the same way, Xerox!

Should read XexoX. Sorry!

No problem Mr. H. It was suppose to be Xexo, but Mr. Mark requires 5 characters at minimum, and I just didn't think how close it was to Xerox! You are not the first, nor will you be the last, to mix it up.

Ah, August has 31 days in the month, so there is one more day left.

I suspect that Mr. Mark will do the drawing on the September 1st. Just guessing here.

[Bob Z]

Ah i see, you are correct!

[XexoX]

Ah i see, you are correct!

On very rare occasions it happens. I should note this day in my diary.

I think we’re going to do the drawing today. I’ll contact the winner and if they’re agreeable will announce who won. As of last night we had sold 328 tickets.

We have a winner! Ticket 119.

I'm contacting him now. I also contacted Feeding America about payment.

[trancher]

I hope the winner read the fine print and understands that a pass around is required before they receive the knife.

[XexoX]

I just don't know what is taking so long, I haven't heard from Mr. Mark yet. Maybe I should send him my contact information again, to make it easier for him.

[Bob Z]

Well the phone didnt ring but im curious about the ticket number, all i got was an order number or did i miss it somewhere?

[ChefKnivesToGo]

Howdy Bob,

You didn't miss anything.

We converted orders sequentially into tickets since some customers bought multiples. If you were the first person who placed an order and you bought 5 tickets, you were assigned #1-5, etc. Then we ran a random number generator to determine that winning number. Then we went back and found who bought the 119th ticket. We verified them 2 ways by counting the paper orders (our accountant's hand counted) and by running a report on our computer (which I did independently) to ensure we came up with the same result. All in all, it was pretty easy.

[XexoX]

So I guess it wasn't Mr. Z or me that won. Maybe next time. Good cause though.

Wonderful. Congrats to Hayden.

You did know that originally "guy" or "guys" was the label given to the followers of Guy Fawkes who planned to blow up the English House of Lords on November 5th, 1605. He failed. Luckily for him, he fell off the scaffold where he was to be hung, breaking his neck, thus avoiding the agony of being hanged, drawn, and quartered. I'm not sure there are any followers of Guy Fawkes, what it being 400+ years since his death and all.

This was alot of fun and a truly worthy cause Mark. Thanks to the CKTG crew for all their hard work and you too for making this thing happen. We had a little fun and a substantial amount of money goes to feeding our own. Our government should pay attention to this and spend our money here!! in our back yard feeding our children who are needy!! Great job!Thanks to all who contributed and shared in the fun doing it.
