The YARN CONTEST and fundraiser which I am holding for our 2010 trip to Carnegie Hall continues!
So far, donations total $ 370 - thank you to all !!
(Please bear with me on this post.. type pad isn't cooperating with its formatting tonight.. sigh... the prizes photos and their descriptions are in order.. pso just please match the words to the correct photo on the left, and know that it must be something in the stars tonight that is causing this glitch... and lets all have a giggle)
Here are this week’s additions to the Yarn Prizes, which will be won on May 26th to some lucky donators:
from my stash: 2 skeins Mountain Bearfoot, colorway Yellowstone
my stash: Brooks Farm merino/wool/silk blend; 500 yards, colorway Harmony
from my stash: Fly super sport hand dyed sock yarn (superwash merino)
colorway Grandma's garden
And just in, this wonderful donation my Lorette from over at Knitting Doctor Blog, a fabulous $25 gift certificate to Sonny and Shear (feel free to hop on over and drool over your choices ) thanks Lorette !!!
AND.. my friend Lisa, over at Dicentra Designs has now pledged 10% of her May sales from her Etsy shop. thank you so much ;-)
Here is how the
contest works:
For every $10 tax deductible contribution that you donate to our chorus, you
will receive one chance at winning a prize (note all the prizes that have been
posted previously are shown in the Yarn Contest album over at the top right of
my blog) There are some amazing yarns and fibers that will be won.
Your donation to our chorus is tax deductible.
All checks need to be made out to Olympia Choral
Society.
Leave me a comment below and I will send you the address where to mail your
check.
Only two more
weeks to enter the Yarn Contest. All donations must be received by May 23rd to
be eligible to win - and Prizes will be drawn by random number generator.
Winners will be listed on this blog on May 26th.
We need to begin making payments on our trip in the near future (thus the
contest/fundraiser being held now.)
(For more details on our fundraiser and Olympia Choral Society, see this
post)... and listen for me whispering every single day... omgosh.. we're
performing at Carnegie
Hall!
The great prizes just keep stacking up!

I suppose it's easier to start paying little by little than all at once.

Ok, so where do I send the check (I would have commented sooner but I spent the past week moving...ew.)
I've only been to carnegie hall as a guest...but it is ridiculously amazing. I'm so excited for you and your choir!
