Darcy Burner Quilt Diary 7/27/12: Primary Concern by belinda ridgewood

Darcy Burner LOVES DK! by Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse

I listed the donors and essay writer on a spreadsheet and assigned a ticket number to each.  At the end of the month, there were 95 tickets in the can -- representing 94 donations and one essay.  

Yesterday, an able team of innocent children made the selection, impartially.  The winning ticket is displayed!

I checked the ticket number to my spreadsheet.  And the winner is..... [drum roll....]

peregrine kate!  Congratulations, peregrine kate!

Now, the rest of us will be winners if Darcy Burner gets the WA-01 Congressional seat.  Her primary is tomorrow and she needs all the help we can give her.  You can still donate to her campaign by clicking on the thermometer.  Thank you!
