Just in case you haven't heard…..
The Wednesday Night Painting Group will be running a charity event for Toys for Tots at Fall in! 2013.
We will have an auction of Donated, Painted Miniatures. (Terrain, Single Figures, Units, Armies etc)
There will be a Chinese style raffle on both Friday and Saturday, with tickets drawn at 8PM each night. All Raffle items are donated by the fantastic vendors from the dealer hall. (Last year we raffled off more than $3 USDK of new donated items.)
We will also accept new, unwrapped toys.
In the last 4 years we have raised almost $20 USDK for Toys for Tots.
The only way we can do this is with your help. It's 100% because of your donations, painting and charity that we can help so many children during the holidays.
To that end we will be accepting painted figures, terrain etc, for the auction, new toy donations and of course you can buy tickets for the raffle or bid on the items at the auction.
So stop by the booth outside of the Distelfink Ballroom (same as last year) and help us raise money for the charity.
Thanks for helping.

Santa Moe.

Santa Moe;
I will be dropping of my loot for you Friday AM.

I was hoping to see you and Jimmy maybe on Thursday night, but I committed to running a game Thursday night in Gettysburg.

@ Eric. You will still be there right? I'll make sure jimmy buys the beers.

If you can actually get Jim to buy beers for us I'll double the donation…

If he's buying, I'll take a PITCHER of something craft brewed. Or Lager. I'm not fussy.

Friday AM. I can't register before then.

Just to tempt you, here is a list of some of the items we have for the Auction and Raffle.

3000pt Warhammer 40k Terminator Army painted by a 4 time Golden Demon winner.

A complete set of the Reaper KIckStarter I, figures. (240+ Figures)

Zombicide with limited edition KickStarter Figures.

50X 28mm WWII German Zombie Horde painted

Reaper 28mm Cthulhu painted by our own John Newman

28mm, 100% fully customizable Warehouse. You can mix and match the walls, adjust it in any way you want and never have the same floor plan twice. Donated by Aftermath Mods (you can win it before it's available to the general public)

That's not counted another 200+ figures, terrain pieces and other special items that we will have for the event.

This doesn't include the donations we will get from the vendors over the weekend.

Hopefully it will be out most successful year yet.

And as always, 100% of the money goes to Toys for Tots..

Look forward to seeing you there.

Dear Moe;
Did Jimmy tell you I dropped my donation off?

I have to say, you guys did another FANTASTIC job for TFT.

And his game was outstanding. I might have to start running 40mm games myself…

All the best;
Eric
