Title: February 2019 Donation Draw- What the heck is it?
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on February 05, 2019, 08:07:31 PM
The prize that I had planned to offer up to you all this month has yet to arrive, and so I have had to scramble around a bit to find something, and I hope that you will all consider this a suitable alternative. 

(http://gallery.multitool.org/var/resizes/Donation-Giveaway-Prizes/February-2019/Leatherman%20Monarch%20200%20MTO%20Edition%20%284%29.jpg?m=1549392683)

Yup, it is a special Leatherman presentation box with the Multitool.org logo laser etched into it!  How great is that?  I mean, it's a box, so the possibilities are endless!  You can put stuff in it, stuff that you can later take back out of it, knowing that it will be safely contained in here until the very next time you need or want it!

An example of things that you could keep in it is this:

(http://gallery.multitool.org/var/resizes/Donation-Giveaway-Prizes/February-2019/Leatherman%20Monarch%20200%20MTO%20Edition%20%283%29.jpg?m=1549392683)

That's right, as a bonus with the really cool box, we will throw in #10 of the Limited Multitool.org Edition Leatherman Monarch 200!  For those of you that don't remember the Monarch 200 (because it has been long since discontinued by Leatherman), here are the details:

Quote
The smallest Leatherman LED flashlight might very well have the biggest job: Getting you safely from the car to the house, office, or store, when your hands are already full. For the Monarch 200 keychain flashlight, it's no problem. Tiny and bright with a quick and easy tail switch for on and off, the Monarch 200 is what the pros call "a necessary" for your keychain survival kit.

Not too shabby!  But, it's way cooler than that- as I said, we produced ten of these for Multitool.org members somewhere around our fourth year (figure 2010-ish) and this is the very last one we had done. 

(http://gallery.multitool.org/var/resizes/Donation-Giveaway-Prizes/February-2019/Leatherman%20Monarch%20200%20MTO%20Edition%20%282%29.jpg?m=1549392683)

How's that for a cool piece of Multitool.org history?  :D

Now the bad news- as usual, we will only give it away if we hit the goal, and this month the goal has gone up to $300 from $275.  Sorry about that, but the new server is costing us a bit more, and so that is going to have to be the new goal for us.

The rest remains the same- donate a minimum of $10 USD to the Forum Operational Fund (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=treasury[/url) before midnight on the 28th (Forum Offset Time of course) and you are entered into the draw.  $20 gets you two entries, $60 gets you six entries and $150 gets you a pretty damned good chance to win!  :D

If we hit the goal by midnight on the 15th, there will be an Early Bird Draw as well, for another prize that I will figure out when and if it becomes necessary.  :D

Ten dollars for a cool and rare piece of MTO history?  Why wouldn't you be all over that?  :D

Thanks for bumping this one Steve!

It seems unless we have custom ALOX or something no one wants to support this place, and even then we don't always get the best response.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how to get people's attention, please send me a PM!
