merrieeee Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I just got an email from Christie Cookies saying that they will remove the results at Noon (est) today to verify the votes. However you can still vote until midnight. Results will be announced Oct 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treenuts Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 So is all of FCA going to be at the gala? No. Inside I'm very excited for all of those able to attend though! Could someone maybe tell Clay "treenuts sends her love"? please Ok, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liney23 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm not going to the Gala either... so take good clack, please!!! I'll meet you guys here, as CH is having a cellcert and I'll want to be on site to read with a silly grin on my face. I put in around 50 email addresses last night that Georgie gave me. I'll try to get the other 50 in tonight. I sure hope we get this $25,000. That would be sooo awesome. Then to win the other contest with the $50,000 prize for just a $10 donation or 3, that would be ultra awesome. Crossing fingers!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treenuts Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I sure hope we get this $25,000. liney, that's a great job on your part! But the ChristieCookie contest prize money is as follows (unless I'm mistaken) 1st place - $10,000 2nd place - $5,000 The remaining Top 12 - $1,000 each Total prize money awarded - $25,000 Please, someone correct this if I am wrong But 1st place is still a VERY BIG PRIZE since that would fully fund an entire camp for one summer to my understanding!!

luckiest1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi all, we are safe and sound in our Raleigh hotel room after stuffing ourselves at the Cheesecake Factory this evening. Some great deals in the Crabtree Valley Mall at the Alumni Hall store if anyone is interested. They have all their NC team t-shirts, etc on sale for 3 for $10.00. There were a select number of hoodies so we got some great deals. Tomorrow we are going to visit with some local friends. The weather is cold and wet but we have hope that it could improve by Saturday. OK, off to vote my last 75 emails on the Christie contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbmifan Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I will not show that color green!!!!!!! Seriously everyone have a great time and take some beautiful pictures and I hope some clack of his singing. I really miss him and can not wait. I am in class all day Saturday and all day Sunday so I probably will not see anything till Sunday night. Someday I swear I am going to go!!!!

Lotus Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Here in Raleigh with preden and we are figuring out what touristy things to do tomorrow. Can anyone tell me in what museum are Clay's clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 We think it's the Museum of History. Here is a link to an old story about it, so I am not sure if they are still on display. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/109263/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 And I was the first one to reply to him! Hee! Well, my bathroom is mostly remodeled. Went from some OK striped/patterned wallpaper to maroon walls. New fiberglass tub. New toilet. New vanity. It looks NICE! I'll post pictures next week, probably. EEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm packed, and mostly ready to go! I can't believe it's time! Looking forward to seeing friends, old and new. And I will be taking all my FCA friends with me in spirit. You can count on it.

jmh123 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 WOOOO HOOOO for the GALA!! :04: :04: :04: :04: :04: Lilyshine and I drove down to pottery country today--Seagrove, NC. Went one place that had things from many different potteries, then ended up visiting only four potteries, but it was quite the experience. It would take a week or more to see everything. Met some interesting people, and their interesting cats and dogs. It reminded me of once when I went to a Japanese pottery region. There are dozens of potteries spread around on country roads in several directions. At one pottery, they had a number of Neolithic Chinese pots also, some big museum quality ones, along with some huge pots they made that were inspired by them. It was all about Clay, of course--the word was everywhere we went. And I had some awesome barbeque and hush puppies. It rained the whole time, and was chilly, but I think we're going to warm up for you guys, or a least get you some sun. But it'll be cold Sat. night, low 40s!

aikim Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Safe travels to all those heading out! Have been sick with a cold all week; took yesterday off but since I don't get paid for sick days I need to go to work today...normally Friday's are my off day...really hate having to go in but I can't afford to take too many days off...plus it is raining, just yuck. But at least the week-end is coming up and the Gala...looking forward to it...although I have no problem admitting I am green with envy...I would love to be getting ready to go anywhere to see Clay...just keeping my fingers crossed for Summer Tour, 2010. 1 Day until The National Inclusion Project's Champion's Gala! Happy Birthday to all celebrating! Everyone have a great day! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepingfaith Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm in the midst of family reunion and related matters, but WOO_HOO to all Gala Goers! I love my family and extended cousins etc., but this weekend will necessitate a few "disappearing" acts on my part for Clay updates. I'm so excited just to hear news and second-hand accounts and the prospect of CLACK, that I can't imagine what I'd be feeling to actually be going. I'll console myself with thoughts that my heart couldn't stand it, and that vicarious attendance is as much as I can physically stand. But .... do I actually BELIEVE that? I'm trying. MWAHH to everybody there and on the way -- safe travels and virtual hugs, y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Time to leave for the airport! Woohoo! I'll be taking all my FCA friends with me, either in person or in spirit! :04: :04: :04: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearofH2O Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I hope to see all the FCAers soon but I haven't started packing or washing clothes yet. I need money, shoes and some snacks. Good thing the bakery was closed when I went by it this morning. I wish I could take you all with me but the car is a little small. Off to get ready.
