The American Ferret Association is sponsoring a raffle in which the grand
prize winner will win a lifetime membership, two (2) second prize winners
will each win a three year membership, and three (3) third place winners
will win a two year membership.  "What is the cost of a raffle like
this?" You ask?  Only the price of a one year membership.
 
Think about it -- we are giving away one lifetime membership ($500), two
three year memberships ($84-112 each), and three two year memberships
($57-76 each).  That alone is almost one thousand dollars in free
memberships.  If you're already a member, not to worry, we will begin
your new year(s) at the end of your current membership cycle.  If you
would prefer, you can transfer any of your winnings as a gift to anyone.
You can also enter your veterinarian or other ferret professional as a
gift, just make sure to select the correct membership tier.  As with all
fine AFA raffles, you can enter as many times as you like.  Just send
the amount of a two-year membership, and you will be entered twice, and
a three-year membership will enter you three times.
 
To enter the raffle, just log on to the AFA website (www.ferret.org) and
sign up for or renew your membership by clicking the "shopping" link, and
then select "membership" or you can call the AFA office at 1-888-FERRET-1
to sign up or request information to be sent to you.
 
Be sure to hurry, so you don't miss out!  The drawing will be held at the
AFA Winter Nationals Ferret Show December 3rd.  So be sure to be there
to find out as soon as possible if you're one of the big winners!  Can't
make it?  If you're one of the first, second, or third place winners,
we'll give you a call to let you know, so be sure to include a valid
phone number, preferably one with an answering service, in case you
aren't there.
 
Current officers of the AFA are not eligible for this promotion.  By
entering, you agree that if you are a first, second, or third prize
winner, the AFA can include your name and photo in future publications.
If you do not wish to agree to this, your first, second or third prize
will be forfeited and another entrant will be redrawn.  Any entries
received at AFA headquarters after Sunday, November 28th, are not
eligible, excluding those purchased at the AFA show, to allow for
entry processing.
