This is getting exciting! It is great to see that some folks who can't be there in person will be there in spirit.

I just updated the list to add a couple of donors who were omitted the first time. We have door prize and welcome bag gifts from 27 companies and individuals-- and there may be more to come!

We really appreciate all those who have donated prizes and gifts and have supported our Gathering.

But, wouldn't listing the biggies be 1.) incentive to people 2.)fair publicity for the donors 3.) incite the excitement?

Trust me, the GRAND PRIZES are worth a little suspense! April Fool

The donors were wonderfully GENEROUS!

Come to Savannah and you might be a GRAND PRIZE WINNER! There's still a little time to register.

I just listed the master list of prizes (top post in this thread) for Palma. I counted 38 prizes so far, and I think a few more are in the works!

Thanks again to all our donors-- classified advertisers and members!
