Today’s a special SPIN OUT 2007 PRIZE UPDATE! First of all, we’ve passed a major milestone in our quest for $30K! Our total is now $10395! and climbing! THANK YOU!!!!
And, here we have another milestone! TWO GRAND PRIZES!
The FIRST:
A LENDRUM COMPLETE FROM THE FOLD! Toni has gone above and beyond and is sending one lucky winner a Lendrum Double Treadle (my wheel – which I love!) That’s not all – she’s sending out the whole kit and kaboodle including the plying head and the fast flyer. YOU GET IT ALL BABY! THANK YOU TONI!!!!!
And the SECOND:
A LOUET VICTORIA FROM YARN EXPRESSIONS! Meg has generously donated a brand new BEECH Louet Victoria, maybe the most portable spinning wheel EVER. This wheel is great for anyone – a beginner or expert. THANK YOU MEG!!!!!
I can’t thank everyone enough for helping me with Spin Out this year. It’s certainly been a labor of love for me. I was honestly a bit disappointed in myself – I feel like I haven’t been yelling at you enough to donate or getting the countless prizes up on the blog fast enough. But in the end it doesn’t matter – the community is what matters and you always come through in the end. SO THANK YOU ALL!
The actual SPIN OUT event takes place on September 29, but the REGISTRY is OPEN until OCTOBER 15! There’s still plenty of time to get in on the action!
Here’s how to donate:
For every $10.00 you spend on The Heifer International Gift Registry, your name will be placed in the proverbial hat for prize drawings in October. For instance, if you spend $50.00, your name will be put in the hat 5 times. You can win more than one prize if your name is in there more than once – we will not be pulling out names after a win.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Last year I realized that while I get registry data, I don’t get exact donation amounts. To get your full raffle value, YOU MUST EMAIL ME THE AMOUNT OF YOUR DONATION! Please send an email, with RAFFLE in the subject line, to donations@spin-out.org. If you don’t do this, your name will be placed in the raffle ONE TIME. THANK YOU!

Wow! Yes, can you kindly pick my name for one of those. I’m not picky either one will do 🙂 The prizes this year are unbelievable.
rock on! what an amazing assortment of prizes you have! 🙂 It’s going to be a perfect day there this year, I just know it.
And has anyone started a pool on the little champ inside, boy or girl???
Yarn Expressions is my LYS! Meg and the ladies there are great, and the shop is lovely. There’s a great range of quality fiber.
I’m pretty slow and it’s sad that I’m just now thinking of this, but I just realized that I could link to the Spin-Out info on my blog! Maybe you could remind other slowpokes like me to spread the word? Besides the incentive of amazing prizes, donating to Heifer is so worthwhile–they have such a marvelous and unique way of helping people. I think I’ll go type a blog entry. There might be 1 or 2 people who read my blog that don’t read yours. 🙂
Should we bring our own seats to Spin Out? Last year we were fortunate that the gym supplied lots of seating.
