Prizes Won For The Group Writing Project - What I Learned in 2006

by Ben Yoskovitz

The final group writing project of 2006 ended today (on the 2nd day of 2007) with a final post snuck in at the last minute by Shawn Hessinger.

In total your efforts raised $350 for charity!

The final tally of posts was 70, and you can find the full list on a special page that I created.

And now it’s time to dispense with the prizes! I excluded myself (of course) and anyone that contributed a post and also donated a prize (from winning their own prize.) I selected from the posts at random, and here’s what we end up with:

I’ll be notifying each winner individually so I can get their address and mail them their prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated. We raised a lot of money together that went to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation.

We were also introduced to tons of great lessons learned and some wonderful bloggers.
