13 Reasons to Buy a Raffle Ticket
Welcome to my first attempt at blatant fund raising!
- You could win a Vespa LX50 scooter.
- You'd be supporting a great cause. All proceeds of the raffle go to benefit Gifford Memorial Hospital end-of-life care services.
- Because wouldn't you look hot on a scooter!? Scooters get between 60 and 80 MPG.
My Honda Metropolitan gets 100 MPG so this one might even get more. How much was gas last time you filled up? - You have a 1 in 250 chance to win! That's pretty darn good odds if you ask me.
- You'd be saving the environment for our kids.
Save the planet for the little guy! He'd do it for you.
- Because the scooter community is a tight-knit one. You'll have friends appearing out of the woodwork just because of your new spiffy two wheeler if you win.
- Come on! Even fairies ride scooters! Don't you wanna be like a mythical creature?
- You can name your scooter something cute. Like Blue Belle…
This is Blue Belle. :-D - It's good for your karma to donate to worthy causes. Don't you need some good karma? Everyone does!
- All the cool kids are doing it.
- Did I mention the insanely good gas mileage?
- The wind in your face is almost as good as flying!
- No! Really! How sexy would you look on this baby?

Know how tempting that makes it???
Best of luck with the lottery, babe. And good for you for turning it into a Thirteen!
I wish you great luck with your lottery!
Don't have any use for a scooter right now, but it is a good cause.
Good luck.
Happy TT!
Great idea though. I will donate to the program!
Thanks for visiting!
Happy TT

Good luck with selling all of those tickets!

LOVE YA! I'd love a scooter, but I have a feeling it would get vandalized or carried off at work.....
Susan, Joely: It is great to ride every once in a while without my little guy a foot behind me. :-D
Shelley: Well I guess we can forgive the Kiwi's among us. hehe
Christina: It's great. Sometimes I forget things at the store just so I can make the hubby watch the baby so I can go "pick it up real quick." :-D Just don't tell him. hehehe
Nancy: Thanks!
Amy: Thanks!
Practical Chick: Aww, I bet he looks adorable. :-D
Daisy: My mom hates it. Absolutely hates it, but I stick to the back roads so it's pretty safe.
Cat and Kate: I (big puffy heart) them!
Thanks Lisa!
NJ: Thanks!
Ann: Thanks!
Ann: It really is a great program they have.
Trina: Not everyone is. Thanks anyway. :)
Elle: Isn't it amazing. I find it amusing filling up for no more than 3 bucks when the Hummer next to me is paying like 60!
Whoohooo!!! Thanks, Vixen! Good luck!
Carolan: hehe It's great to play on people's but the babies need you emotions. hehe
Michelle: Yes, I stoop to using my toddler. But ain't he cute in his Little Vampire Motorcycle Club t-shirt! hehehe
Kuanyin: It's best to avoid those wheels. ;)
Marina: hmmm maybe you could get one with a side car. :-D
Jenn: Well of course not!
At least it's Friday :-)
