- Northwest Amiga Group's Raffle
-
- After the fall of Commodore I left most of us in the U.S. no place to
- turn for support. Most of the support was left in Europe. With this
- effect our Raffle Drawing has suffered. This is one of the better
- capitol efforts we have. At least it was.
-
- Now we are looking to revive it. In the past we just asked for
- donations and found it easy to get. Now there are fewer sources left.
- And those are still recovering from the aftermath.
-
- We came up with an idea that might help both dealers and developers
- both. We have what has been regarded as a first class news letter,
- "The Northwest Amiga Journal". What we purpose is this:
-
- Since we do not qualify for a charitable contribution we are offering
- advertising space of equal value to the retail value of the items
- donated. Plus an announcement prior to the raffle of the items you
- donated and finally the review of the donated item. This means a three
- month exposure of you business.
-
- If you are a developer or dealer and are interested please let us
- know. Let us help you as well as helping our efforts to support the
- "Computer of Choice", the Amiga.

-
- One of the main complaints of developers in countries outside of North
- America is the lack of financial support from those of us in the U.S.
- I have to admit that I have a challenge in this area myself. There
- are several programs I wish to register but find myself unwilling to
- do so. The challenge comes from the extra charge for a foreign bank
- draft which runs around $15 US. When a programmer is asking around
- $25 US that is a 60% increase.
-
- I feel the solution is two fold. The first is participation in the
- above raffle where attendees and readers will see what the benefits of
- registering will be.
-
- The second is reducing the added cost of registration per person by
- sharing the add charge. This will also save you in shipping costs.
-
- If you are interested in participating in the programs above please
- let me know so we can make arrangements. We feel that it is important
- to support the developer and would like to make it easier on both
- parties to do so.
-
- Thank you
