Holiday Drawing Winners Announced!

It was a great drawing –there were over 3,000 views of the entries for our 2011 holiday drawing. The entries were among the best I've ever seen on this forum: entertaining, informative and really representative of how and why we all love IWC. You can read the entries by clicking here.

Now comes the other fun part –awarding prizes. I used a random number generator to pick a dozen lucky winners. They are

Donald Wilson
Joseph White
Skul
Dzul
777DGT
Ken L
ABS0
Larry Seiden
Andy Stevens
Norbert S.
Jeremy Koh
Evann

To claim their prize, each winner should e-mail me at michael.r.friedberg@gmail.com with
the subject line stating HOLIDAY DRAWING
and the body of the e-mail including
--your forum name
--your name (if different)
--your postal address

It’s helpful to me if your name and address can be a format that I can cut and paste to a mailing label. Which prize you'll get –and there are a few more beyond what's shown in the photo-- this time will be a surprise.

I think the contributions of everyone, newcomers and old-timers, were great. Thanks so much for participating here, and happy holidays to all!

Thank you Michael,that was fun! I enjoyed reading all the great entries!

Congratulaions everyone. Lots of fun and engaging posts.

I was selfishly hoping to get the swiss knife but I must say the real prize was reading your stories guys.

Thanks Michael and IWC, this post says a lot about the outstanding people attending this forum.

Congratulations to the winners.

Thanks Michael and everyone for their contributions! It was great reading your stories.

Congratulations to the lucky winners!

Happy Holiday and congratulations to the winners. These contests always are enjoyable to follow, both as a voyeur and as an entrant.

Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone who posted thank you.
It was very interesting learning about you and your passion.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and to the winners enjoy your prize.
Regards,
Kevin

The neat thing about reading everyone's entrees was how much thought and appreciation went in to everyone's acquisitions. And how much everyone treasures their IWCs. I don't think too many people feel that way about their televisions, refrigerators or lounge chairs.

Congratulations winners, and thanks to MF, IWC, and everyone who posted. That was one of the most enjoyable to read threads I have seen!

Great entries which gave good insight into how many of us got stated with our collections.

Michael:

Could not agree with you more ! Everyday it was like getting a gift reading the entrees. Thank you for making this forum a special part of my day...

As a drawing winner, by any chance do you still have my E-mail information from the "New Member" Magazine posting last week ? If so..everything is the same.

Happy Holidays to you and all the Forum members,

Andy
