Dear Listees:


Here are preliminary details regarding the Greensburg, KS charity 
raffle:

And here are the prizes we have on offer so far. Thank you to everyone 
who has already given:

We'd be very delighted to receive more donations of meteorites or 
meteorite-related prizes -- large or small. That's my department. Email 
me photos and specs, or just mail me the specimen(s). I'll take photos 
for you and add them to the website. Please state how you would like 
your name/company name to appear (as donor).

Greensburg is one of the most famous meteorite towns in the world. If 
you've ever enjoyed looking at a Brenham pallasite; reading "Space 
Rocks and Buffalo Grass"; watching the "Cash & Treasures," or "Wired 
Science" shows; or any of Steve's many TV news appearances, now would 
be a great time to say thanks to the town that helped make those 
experiences possible.

Rafffle tickets are $10 each and you can buy as many as you like. To 
purchase, please email our friend Maria Haas at:  dragonsoup at msn.com

. . . or you can just PayPal funds to her. Her email address is the 
same as her PayPal account. She is very well experienced with 
fundraisers and you can trust her with your $$   : )

As mentioned earlier, our primary goal is to get money up to Greensburg 
NOW to help some of those people who have lost their homes and 
belongings. Bear with us, and we'll provide details of where and when 
the charity raffle will take place later on. So, please chip in 
whatever you can today. I hear from Maria that we already have more 
than $1,000 in hand and/or pledged, and about another $1,000 worth in 
raffle prizes.

Mark Bostick and Steve Arnold are on the ground in KS figuring out the 
best way to get funds to people who need help the most. I'm sure 
they'll post reports when they can.

We'll be adding more material to the website shortly, including 
personal memories and photos of Greensburg. Please contact me off-List 
if you'd like to contribute something to that project.


Thanks and regards,

Geoff N.
