We had 36 reported donations to the Red Scarf Fund since I started the first phase of the fund drive, the raffle of the Signature Arts needles, last Thursday. For this part of the drive, the amount of your donation didn't matter -- just that you notified me you donated. Each donor was assigned a number -- it was simply chronological based on the time of email you sent notifying me of your donation. I plugged it into the Random Integer Generator, and this is the result:

Here are your random numbers:

Congratulations!

I'm pleased to report that we raised over $1,000 in this phase of the fund drive. Great work everyone; thank you for playing; and congratulations Marianne.
Now I'm off to the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival for the day. Joansie is driving, so I can knit on my blood orange scarf. Should we have any fun at ALL (or even if we DON'T, hahahahahahahahahahaha) I'll be sure to let you know all about it. Hoping I don't have camnesia.....
That's IT! I'm taking my toys and going home. Just kidding. I'm very impressed that just 36 donations raised over $1000. I hope that number grows and grows.

Have fun at the festival. If the weather in Vermont is anything like the weather in Massachusetts, today's the day to test the story that wool doesn't loose it's abilities to keep you warm when wet. Good luck! And have fun!

Just a reminder to fed employees, OFA is on the list of Combined Federal Campaign organizations that you may select (as my hub and I did- Yay) so OFA can get a donation every pay period.

Marianne, you are one lucky lady to win these. I have one pair and love working with them. I find myself trying to find projects that have that needle size just so I can use them.
