Menu for Hope II raffle winners
I am so very happy to begin yet another year on Chez Pim with such a wonderful announcement. With the help of all the participating food bloggers who put up an enticing, dizzying array of prizes and the many, many generous donors, we are closing our Menu for Hope II campaign with $17,101.32 going to UNICEF to help support the victims of the Kashmir earthquake.
If you donated on the campaign, read the rest of the post to find out if you won anything. If you're one of the lucky winners, contact the blogger who sponsored the gift with your contact information so your prize could be mailed to you. (And no, there is no shipping/handling costs to the winners, this ain't no shady late night direct marketing, ha.)
Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you so very much to everyone for your help. Our Menu for Hope II is such a smashing success because of all of you. Thank you.
(P.S. Email me if you had any problem or question, I won't be online very much in the next five days -off to ski in Colorado- but I promise I'll sort everything out when I return. Happy new year everyone!)
