BOC: Raffle to help a BOC Roadie

[John A. Swartz]

Eric Bloom asked me to pass this info along for those of you who haven't heard:

A raffle is being held to defray the medical expenses of long-time road
crew member Sam Judd, who is recovering from a very serious operation.
If you attended a BOC show in the 70s - 90s you probably remember seeing
Sam on Eric & Allen's side of the stage.

The Grand Prize is the Harper Guitar signed by all current band members,
Albert and Joe Bouchard, and guitar maker Jon Harper. And possibly other
ex-members (To be announced).

There are 300 total raffle "chances" available. The winner's name will
be chosen on the stage at the Bernalillo, NM show on Sept. 29, 2001. You
need not be present to win and the guitar will be sent UPS to the
winner's address. The guitar will be awarded regardless of the number of
entries received.

For each "chance" at winning, send a $50 Money
Order (Money orders only, no personal checks) made out to SAM JUDD. Also
send your name, phone number, address and email address. Your name will
be entered once for each $50 received. Thus, if you send a money order
for $100, your name will be entered twice into the raffle pool.

BOC Direct will email back a confirmation of receipt for your chance(s).

100% of the funds will go to benefit Sam's rehab expenses. Mail your
money orders to

BOC Direct
P.O. Box 860
Plandome, NY 11030.
