Posting this on behalf of the whole team at NYC NaNoWriMo:
Are you helping fund NaNo this year? Have you already donated online? If so, you can win some great prizes here in the New York City region. We are giving out raffle tickets throughout the entire month of November to all donors. 100% of the money will go to the Office of Letters and Light. The raffle drawing will take place December 1st at the TGIO party, and some of the prizes are:
--Scrivener software (or a comparable program for PCs)
--A one-year subscription to Poets & Writers magazine
--NaNoWriMo shirts, posters and other goodies.
There are three ways to participate in the raffle:
1. Cash donation to any ML at any meet-up. For $1 you already get one raffle ticket. Give us $5 and you'll get seven tickets! And if you donate $10 we will give you a whopping 15 tickets. Woo hoo!
2. Donate through the OLL web site. You'll get NaNoWriMo's own thank-you gifts, plus raffle tickets from us. Just print out your donation confirmation form or email, and show it to an ML before the end of the month.
3. Help sponsor two of our wonderful MLs (Erin and Olga) on their journey to San Francisco for a Night of Writing Dangerously on November 22. Yes, they've already reached the minimum amount, but any additional money goes a long way to help the OLL's funding of the event. Again, just show an ML your donation confirmation and you'll get your tickets.
If you gave money at the kick-off party, you're already part of the raffle! And if for some reason you can't make it to the TGIO party, just hold on to your ticket. After the party, we'll post any unclaimed winning numbers on the forum and you can contact us to get your prize.
We thank you in advance for any and all donations!
(And use this forum to post questions! I (Erin) currently have the roll of raffle tickets, so talk to me if you see me this week.)

What if we can never get our sorry butts down to a write-in, and will be out of town for the TGIO? Are we SOL, or can we participate in absentia?

I can be your ticket proxy. Probably the best thing to do is email me (erinfshk at gmail) and I will add the appropriate number of tickets to the pool and email you back your ticket numbers.
