Pre-buy Raffle Tickets -
This year the ECWC Conference Team is also offering raffle tickets for purchase during registration. This is a one time deal, during registration, to purchase raffle tickets ahead of time. The tickets purchased are added to your registration fee and can be paid with a credit card via PayPal. If you choose to pre-buy, Raffle Ticket vouchers will be included in your conference packet at check-in. Of course, we will still be selling tickets during the conference as we have in the past.
Do you have promotional items or Raffle Baskets to donate? -
The ECWC Conference Team would love to share the promotional items you've worked hard to create. Contact the Goody Bag Gals for the shipping address and other information.
Raffle Baskets are a wonderful part of our conference, and while many items are provided by regional businesses, most are provided by donations from authors or other RWA chapters. Maybe you items you'd like to donate for the Raffle Baskets or more than enough items to make a basket of your own. For Raffle questions questions contact the Raffle Basket Chairs for shipping and wish list information.
