Hey all,
I am still new here, so my apologies if this is already a thing that I am not aware of. But I am basing this suggestion on something that I have seen done on a watch forum (another collection that I cannot afford) that I am on. About once a month, they do a membership drive (you can access special parts of the forum if you are a VIP) to raise money to keep the lights on for the forum that we really enjoy. For a $10 membership fee, you can win a watch or accessory, pretty simple. They use a site that generates a random number to pick a winner so everything is pretty fair. Of course there are also sites that manage all of this for you as well.
I was thinking that this could be a fun way to raise some additional funds for the WKC to keep the lights on and get people engaged. The prizes can be anything from cool accessories like a Smoke thermometer, a Kettle Pizza, a rotisserie, etc. to an actual kettle if someone is willing to donate a special CL find that was cleaned up.
I know you guys have a lot of cool things going on every month and there are prizes involved, but was just thinking that this could be a different way to raise some additional funds and keep people engaged.
Again, sorry if this is already a thing you guys do and I had no idea. I will be happy to buy a "raffle ticket" either way.
