I learned to my amazement that just for the asking, we get stuff.

Doesn't mean sometimes I get laughed at with a resounding, "NO."

Doesn't mean they always say yes.

What's especially worked for us is asking all team members who their parents work for. Home Club got us a shop vac, Boeing is trying to get us funding, got our facility's microwave and toaster oven, head of ad agency making our posters...

The local electronics store nicely gave us $500 on account. Don't know if we'll spend it all.

Local paint store gave us the paint for our facility...

I was reading about these raffles, and figure I'll put some energy into that next year.
