Tha amazing thing about something as simple and great as this contest is the ability it has to restore something so large as hope or confidence. That being said I want to thank everyone who participtes either by sending in hats or just telling others about it. It is nice to know there are still people who not only care, but care enough to do something about it!
When we ran the first quarter's contest and only received two hats I was sad. I thought about dropping what seemed like a great little idea. I decided to give it another quarter to see how it would do. The second quarter we got a total of 66 hats donated to the hospital. I was thrilled, it had started to work. Then it happened again, after almost the entire span of the contest and only receiving 15 hats I was beginning to wonder again....is it a good idea?
Well, Saturday morning I went to the PO box and was surprised, there were 75 new hats waiting for me! I collected another 10 from some faithful locals and the tally stands at 100 hats for this quarter! I can hardly believe it! Thanks to everyone for helping out. I promise not to lose faith any more. We haven't checked the PO box yet today and there is still some time before the contest ends at midnight so we might even get a few more! It is really a nice thing and I am glad to be part of it. Thanks again to everyone!
Don't forget we will start the next contest July 1st to end September 30th! Please keep sending in those hats!

Rob, you rock!
No, wait. WE rock! A pat on the back to all of us baby hat makers.
Am already thinking about designs for next quarter.
Oh, good. I'm so glad you got a big bunch of hats! I had my small bunch I meant to send and kept forgetting (read-procrastinating). I will get them sent soon, I promise.
