Hey guys... I'm posting this for Annie because she's occupied right now. She wanted me to let you guys know that the first CC's Date Drawing is complete!
We have a winner!! Actually, we have 3 winners (lol).
You see, the system actually charges a fee for each drawing. In the event that the 1st place winner is unavailable, the date goes to the 2nd place winner. If he cannot make it, then it goes to the 3rd place winner. I can't imagine that it would get much farther down the line than that. So it will pick 3 winners per drawing to save on fees.
About the Drawing Itself:
The drawing is entrant-accessible, which means that the full lists of entrants and winners can only be viewed by the owner of the drawing (Annie), but entrants can query it to verify their participation. If you know your entrant identifier, you can enter it there at RANDOM.ORG and enter your "entrant identifier" (which is the email address you used to join the group). The system will tell you whether you were entered into the drawing and whether you were picked as a winner.

For example: I clicked the above link and entered my email address and the system gave me this response:
missveronicamoore@yahoo.com had 1 entry in this drawing but was not picked as a winner
So go on ahead and enter your email addresses to see if you are the 2nd or 3rd winner just in case the 1st winner is unavailable.
By the way, the winner of the first CC's Date drawing is GWBush.
Please contact Annie as soon as you can to discuss who you'll be meeting and when (or if). In the event that you cannot "perform your duties" as the drawing winner, the "title" will be passed to the 1st runner up.
To the men (and ladies) who weren't able to get screened in time for this drawing, don't worry, the 1st of June will get here before you know it and you will be entered into the next one. For those of you who are considering entering in the next one, be sure to send in your screening information, P411, references, and most importantly, ECCIE handle in the comments section of your signup form so you can get approved quickly.
So... that's it. Hope you winners have fun and if you have any questions, you should probably ask Annie. Although if it's something that I know the answer to, I'll try to answer to the best of my ability
