What do you think? Prizes...

Hi all! We are coming to the end of the round and will have to decide what is going to be done prize-wise... Will we have just ONE grand prize and then the two donated items? Or will it be a couple or three smaller prizes and the two donated items? Will we use up ALL of the prize money we've rounded up OR portion it out so that we have some for the next round without the need to do another rounding up of funds? Here's my suggestion: 1) pay shipping for the Just the Cheese donated item that is here to go to whomever is drawn to receive it 2) $50 gift card to place of your choice as grand prize 3) winner of $50 in Kay's Naturals is shipped from Kay's Naturals, so no shipping cost associated with that one That will leave more than enough money to do the same thing again for the Easter round too. BUT, it is up to the group! You donated the funds and you get to say what we do with them! INPUT PLEASE!! Lea

Your plan sounds good to me Patti

I think one GRAND and then the two donated. Let us know if you need donations for the next round, too. Thanks so much Lea! Katy

Donations can be made at ANY time. Just email me for info on how to send (PayPal or US mail). I'd like to keep the pot running so that we don't have to have another real donation drive... Lea

Hi Lea, I have to say, I like your suggestion. Thank you for all the work you have put into this challenge. Jules

Leah!! I agree with the others. Your suggestion is perfect. I do wish more people had replied. Thank you so very much for doing this. And let us know if you need another donation and/or help in some way. Bless You Alice

Sounds good to me! I think the whole prize idea is fun. It's not like anyone is actually participating because of the prize(s), but it's just a cool addition to the challenge! I would gladly send more $ if/when you need it. I appreciate your efforts so much. I am having a HORRIBLE week w/ my eating/exercising/weight this week, so I am definitely NOT going to make my goal; however, the accoutability of the challenge has helped me to re-focus and to at least lose A LITTLE weight since the holidays.
