My town's Watershed Committee is doing an Airstream Fundraiser to raise funds for a matching state grant that they have secured for projects on our local watershed. They are very excited to offer the prize: a 1964 AIRSTREAM Trade Wind 24’ Travel Trailer w/ a new axle. So now's your chance to listen to Wally:

"Don’t stop. Keep right on going. Hitch up your trailer and go to Canada or down to Old Mexico. Head for Europe, if you can afford it, or go to the Mardi Gras. Go someplace you’ve heard about, where you can fish or hunt or collect rocks or just look up at the sky. Find out what’s at the end of some country road. Go see what’s over the next hill, and the one after that, and the one after that." This is the message and the legacy of Wally Byam – founder of Airstream.

Become a member of the WBCCI (you have to own an Airstream) and begin your dream of adventure and exploration – all in your very own Airstream.

The how - tickets are $25 each. Once the town sells 400 tickets, they’ll draw a winner. So here’s your chance to win big!

We are putting a new axle under this baby, the polishing has been started and if I get the time, I will have at least the first cut completed. This trailer will need to be restored, but it’s a chance to have a clean canvas for your own customized Airstream! Interior is all there and the outside shell is near perfect - so Start DREAMING now!

I'll be posting the "HOW TO GET TICKETS shortly so check back soon! More pictures soon too. We are printing tickets up now and as soon as that is ready, we'll post more information.

This is a great idea!

By the way, I never found out who won the big flat sceen TV in the last fundraiser. Do you know who got it?

Ganglin · 03-08-2008, 10:58 AM

Just one question - do you know the condition of the floor - any soft spots? Otherwise - I'm in.

I'm getting the tickets printed up this week, and they'll be available in about a week or so the printer tells me. So, when I pick them up, the Give-a-way begins. I'll post address on how to get tickets this weekend. It'll be $25 a ticket and once we get 400 tickets, the trailer will be raffled off and the new owner will be announced. Rules of the Give-a-way are forthcoming as well.

I'll get more pictures of the trailer and post so that everyone can see the trailer. So, all you Trade Wind followers, get ready for the chance to get a nice trailer all the while supporting a great cause.

How can you be sure unless you go and see.

dkutz · 03-13-2008, 10:27 PM

how much ic wbcci membership. When are the tickets ready I am in!

robandzoe · 03-26-2008, 07:35 PM

If you are interested, the tickets are ready for purchase. Please send $25 x # of tickets desired to:

Plymouth Watershed
c/o Margaret Kreiner, Chair, Ply. Watershed
3668 State Hwy 23
South Plymouth, New York 13844

Good luck. Again, once 400 tickets are sold, the winner will be drawn.

robandzoe · 03-30-2008, 06:33 PM

I'll have a few tickets for the Give-a-way at CBR in a couple weeks. I hope the Airstream community can take a advantage of a good deal and help out a good cause. 1 in 400 is pretty good odds - buy 4 and it's 1 in a 100.

Overlander & Sea · 09-17-2008, 09:16 AM

Has the raffle taken place? Just checking-still have my tickets!

3Ms75Argosy · 09-17-2008, 09:22 AM

Me too! Gosh, can you imagine, a '63 and '64 Tradewind?
Crossing my fingers!

Yes!

AirForums Community-- please snatch up the remainder of these tickets so that the drawing can occur, and then I can claim my new '64 Tradewind.

Thanks!

Heh! Well, you are certainly full of The Airstream Spirit, so if you do indeed end up winning my '64 Tradewind, I guess I won't be able to complain too much...

3Ms75Argosy · 09-17-2008, 10:13 AM

I really don't know what you guys are talking about... I thought my ticket was the golden one. : ) Happy dreaming all!

very nice dreams......................

robandzoe · 09-17-2008, 06:28 PM

I'll be checking with the manager of the tickets.. I know I have around 80 left.... so if you are interested, let me know.. I'll have some at the WDCU Beachcomber Rally and my Installation Rally...

Seriously, I thought they would have sold faster...

A-Merry-Can · 09-17-2008, 07:04 PM

Is this still going? I might be able to donate a little... in the interest of the watershed, of course! After-all it IS a tax deduction... isn't it?
