There’s only one week left for Treasure Beach Foundation’s double villa raffle.

Remember, one ticket gives you two chances to win. You can win a week at either Rainbow Point or at Shakti Home; both are wonderful places for a relaxing vacation. If you haven’t yet purchased your ticket, please do it now. Tickets are only $25 for one or five for $100. They can be purchased online (in any currency) or via check (U.S. checks only). All money must be received by April 27. Since there’s only a week left, we strongly suggest you purchase your ticket online to be certain the money gets to us on time.

100% of the proceeds will go to our scholarship fund. Your participation means we will be able to continue to support all the students now on scholarship—and award more for the upcoming school year.

The holder of the first ticket drawn will receive:
• One week for up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms at Rainbow Point Villa.
• Transfers to and from the airport in MoBay by Aman Parchment.
• A sunset cruise for up to 6 on Dennis Abrahams’ Shallow Bar.

I've been procrastinating buying my tickets this year and then saw that the deadline is fast approaching. So I bought my tickets and then started thinking of how to get the word out to others who may not know about it.

Here's what I came up with:
-Sending an email to my friends and family with a link to the original post (http://webtonic.info/discus/messages/1584/14865.html)
-Posting the same link on social networking sites like Facebook and twitter.

Can I ask you to do the same with your email list and Facebook, etc. accounts?

And to share other ways have you used to tell others about the raffle?

Just sent my money in...hope I win this year!

I HAVE to win. Want to stay in a villa on the sea. Want my own staff after all these years of roughing it.

PLEASE pick our ticket!!! PLEASE pick out ticket. With Jim unemployed, it may be the only way we get to go this year!

If I do buy a ticket and win when will I have the (Joy) of coming to Treasure Beach to soak up the sun and eat some of that delicious food I see others write about.
Hopefully it would be the month of May to June.
More info please.

I'm not certain I understand your question. If I do, the rules say the villas can be used on a space available basis within a year of winning. That would certainly include May and June.
