To rm9116 or anyone that has received a donation from Oriental Trading - did you request specific merchandise or a gift card? How long did it take to get a response and did they let you know ahead of time or just send it?
That is true the all inclusive is expensive but being in the travel industry and knowing resorts and travel arrangements ...it really is a good deal. Although you can get Disney for that price that doesn't include any meals etc and it's a different trip all around. I have booked Elite for many years as a booking agent and have never had one complaint. As long as the details are listed by the prize the winner is aware of the cost and if they are looking to book something like that it saves them tons.
Regarding the Elite, it is a good prize, however time you do the meal package at $125. per day for 7 days, add in airfare, it would end up costing you about $3000. for the trip, you can do Disney, a Cruise, or even the Bahamas for cheaper than that per person.
Linda,
Elite is a wonderful prize! They just want the winner to pay for the all inclusive meal part. I have heard some people on the thread unhappy about that but it really is a good deal. If you post that near the prize no one would be unhappy. The Elite resorts are fabulous!
Ang, we do a general raffle and do a double sided printed ticket. Below is a link to their shop, they keep the prices low, we are getting more tickets this year at a lower price using them...
I received a yes from Bayard Press – they sent a nice selection of books for our event. We are going to make a book basket with them. They just asked if we could let the librarian at our school take a look at them before the event. I just used the contact us form, here’s the link:
