Hello all,
ODSKC 2009 is right around the corner, and to start things off, we're going to raffle off chances for you to win one of the hottest new kites out there, the Saber by Will Sturdy. At this point, lots of folks know about Will as a flier. In just a few years, he's established himself as one of the best fliers in the Eastern League, moving up to Masters in 3 years time. He was also the AKA 2008 EIB champion, and his virtual freestyle entries from the last 2 years have been universally praised.
DID YOU KNOW that Will is also a champion kitebuilder? Will's designed several kites over the past few years, and his latest design, the Saber, was the AKAGN 2008 kitebuilding champion in the sport kite category. The Saber is an awesome kite - great precision, and it's got every trick in the book pre-loaded and ready to go. Here are some pictures:

To show what the Saber is capable of, check out this video from the last Virtual Freestyle 12:

So here's the deal: Will has been kind enough to donate a custom Saber (custom=you choose the center accent color) to help raise some cash for ODSKC. We're selling tickets for $10, to a maximum of 50 tickets. Buying raffle tickets is easy! Here's how you do it:
1. Go to
http://www.richmondairforce.com/ODSKC/index.htm and click the "Donate" button located halfway down the page. That'll take you to Paypal, where you can pay either with your own Paypal account or with any major credit card. Just donate the appropriate amount for the number of tickets you want.
2. Reply to this email with your name and address and let me know how many tickets you purchased.
3. Cross our fingers and keep them in that position until the winner is announced!
The raffle will continue until Monday, June 8, or until 50 tickets are sold, whichever comes first. Once the raffle's done, I'll have an independent, neutral entity (a.k.a. one of my kids) draw the winner from the proverbial hat. Sound good? Don't wait! Get your tickets now while they're still available!
