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


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.

    Great work, and congratulations to everyone! You got us to think, and a good donation for the hospital. What more could we ask?
