Raffle tickets can be purchased from three separate categories, each which house several prizes to win. Instead of bidding on these prizes, you are entering into a raffle to win them. For each prize a virtual dice will be drawn to determine the winner.

Donations are still being accepted, as well as tickets are selling like hotcakes. This event will run through the end of January, so don't miss out on your opportunity to participate in raising funds for some worthy causes, while also putting your name in the hat for some fabulous prizes.

When challenged to organize their ports for January, here are what our readers had to say:

scarlett_o_h I think it may take more than a moment, but I shall aim to complete the task in January. Thanks for the reminder.

JACE Author Icon*Laugh* I had to chuckle when I read your challenge for January: Find a moment and organize your Port. Ok, so it was a laugh. *Wink* While it's a truly necessary exercise, that 'moment' for some of use older members should be a month ... at least. LOL

BIG BAD WOLF is Howling Author IconSometimes you wait a while. Oh- Port's organized.

Challenge: Enter one writing contest and tell us why you chose that particular contest.
