Hi guys! I have had some questions about the status of the Men in Uniform Week giveaway so I just wanted to give you all a quick update about where we are in the process.
To answer the first question almost everyone asks, no, we have not notified all the winners yet. So if you haven’t heard from us yet, that doesn’t mean you haven’t won.
Basically, I started off generating a random list of winners and have been matching them up with the comments. For about the first 80 or so winners, everyone still had items on their wish lists so I got through them very fast. But now that we are getting nearer to the end, I am having to contact folks to get their prize choice and that takes a lot longer because every gets 24 hours. At this point I would estimate I have about 10 more prizes to assign, so depending on the speed of responses, it could take a week or more to get to everyone. So please if I email you, the faster you can back to me with your pick the better.
In the meantime, I am busy contacting winners and the authors/publishers that donated the prizes. Please bear with me, it is a super time consuming process to get everything matched up and get the emails out about the specific winners, prizes, etc. We are making progress but it just takes a long time. So don’t get discouraged if you haven’t heard. We have MANY winners still to notify. But please do be patient because we are trying our best. I will make an announcement again once all the winners are selected and notified so everyone knows things are over.
One last note to my winners. It may take several days or even a week after you are notified before you hear about your prize. Some of these folks donated MANY prizes, and to keep from making them crazy with emails, I am clustering them together before I notify them. So just be aware that while you may have heard already, the person supplying your prize may not. But if you don’t hear from your author/publisher for more than a week after being notified, please let me know and I will follow up.
Ok, so I think that is all the news. If you have any questions, just hit me with them!
I received my prize and thank you for the great event.
Thanks Shirley! Glad you got your prize!
Thanks for the update. I’m guessing my chances are very low since I haven’t received an email but it’s still good to know the status. I’ve enjoyed the anticipation!
Your doing a great job.
Thanks so much!
This was a fabulous event and I can’t even imagine how much work is involved hooking everyone up with their gift. I was lucky enough to have won and have already received my book. Thank you so much!!!

Will you let us know when it’s all finished?

Definitely I will keep you all posted. Most of the folks have been notified but I am still getting in touch with authors. And I still have prizes to give out as well.
