WOW!!! Thanks so much **Quasi** and **Dondra**. You are both very generous people and I will wear my tag with pride. Now, how do I edit it? Starts poking buttons… ---

Quasimodem tells me there will be two new winners in this long-running contest, with the newest winners to be drawn on Thanksgiving Day, November Thursday, 22, 2012. If you have previously entered (and not been a winner) you do not have to enter again, you’re already in the pot. Good luck! ---

I’m not entering, because I don’t feel worthy, but just wanted to say Quasi’s doing a bang-up service for this board. Fair play to you, sir! 🙂 ---

If some one wants to do this for Christmas, I’ll donate two subscriptions. Just tell me where to send the money. Good on you **Quasi** , and what a great idea. ---

**Shakes** , Thanks for your generosity! If it’s okay with you, the way we’ll work it will be that I’ll draw 2 more names from the hat, send you a pm with those names, then _you_ go ahead and order the gift subs from here through PayPal. You can then pm your winners and inform them that you are the gifter. Is that agreeable? If anyone else wishes to do this, just let me know how many and we’ll follow the above steps. Also, a minor correction: We ( **D** and I) will gift **3** subscriptions instead of **2**. That means a total of 5 subscriptions for Thanksgiving Day! Thanks again, **Shakes** and y’all go ahead and pm me your names for the hat. Thanks Q ---

Sorry everyone, but I just noticed **Shakes’** gifts are for _Christmas_, NOT Thanksgiving, so we’ll save those till then and go with the 3 we already have in the works. Apologies for the confusion, everyone! Q ---

My Dear Friends, Since we’ve started our little fun contest, I have been so honored and pleased that a bunch of you have wanted to participate in it anonymously and provide another lucky Doper with a year’s membership. This, as I have said many times before, is The Doper Way and it makes me happy to be a part of such a wonderful family. Keep in mind, though, that I don’t have a monopoly on this and y’all can do your own little giveaway, okay? 🙂 See y’all on the 22nd of the month (our Thanksgiving) and we’ll draw the 3 names and let **TubaDiva** notify the winners. Thanks! Quasi ---

Addendum: If you’ve already won for this year and membership is paid up through 2013, I will hold your name until such time as that membership runs out and you will be eligible to win again at that time. In other words, you can’t win memberships twice in the same year. Thanks Q ---

We’ll do FOUR drawings (2 coming as a gift from our own **Shakes** ) on Christmas Eve! As always, if you haven’t won yet, don’t worry, be happy because your original entry has been saved. If you _haven’t_ entered, then let’s have 'em!;)🙂 Thanks Quasi ---

All 8 winners have been notified, and I wanted to remind y’all that 2 of the 8 came from our friend **Shakes** , 4 from Anonymous, and 2 from me. We have 4 folks left who have not won and I’m looking to do another drawing on 1.1.2013. Please stay tuned for details! Merry Christmas to our winners and ALL entrants as well as ALL our **Doper** friends! Bill and Dondra Craig ---

…I’ll be giving away 2 more gift memberships on 1.1.13 at 7 pm, so the 4 people still left in the hat will still be eligible, and anyone else who wants to enter can do do between now and then. As we bring this year to a close, I just wanna say thanks to our other benefactors, anonymous or not. Y’all have really helped to make this thing a whole lot more fun! 🙂 Looking forward to some more next year? I am too!😃 Your friends, Bill & **Dondra** ---
