Please post in this thread to congratulate them!

In case you missed our previous announcements, here is a full list of winners from our contests:

A huge THANK YOU! to everyone who donated during our second quarter fund drive.

But once again, DUers came through for us when we needed your help. You are the best!

25. SCRABY?? Who in the hell is SCRABY?
Edited on Mon May-18-09 05:06 PM by Th1onein
Who ever heard of such a name? I was supposed to win that Acer, damnit! Something's wrong here. I know it. I just know it. It was a setup!

I was told that I could already be a winer....er...a winner.

DAMN.

On edit: Scraby? IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY! You just won a lunch with yours truly! We'll have a few drinks and a few more.....I'll even watch your laptop for you if you have to go to the bathroom...

I wonder if I can still get a lap dance thrown in since I was the FIRST winner of the week? I know, I shouldn't be greedy.



Maybe I can win the lap dance next quarter?

:evilgrin:

Thank you again y'all!

32. This was the best fund raising ever. It beat watching the boxing
glove trying to whack McCain or any of the others. I hope DU met it's quota and I await the next time around. I bet if this campaign drew impressive dollars, the next ones will have prizes too.

Best to the winners!
