  Rail Europe has donated two First Class 15-day Eurail Flexipasses as the Grand Prize for the drawing (a $2100 value)...an amazing prize for someone planning a trip to Europe on a budget. DIRECTV has donated a great programming package, and there are many other great prizes to be won.  For more details and a prize list, see our website
