Hi Everyone -

Just a quick update to let everyone know the results of the "Guess When The 10,000th Hug Will Be" contest.

The 10,000th hug was made on November 28th, when "tiredofbeingalone33" hugged "Yvon".

The closest guess was made by "cricketn", who won a DailyStrength T-Shirt and chose to donate her $100 to The Salvation Army - because, as she put it, "with the holidays here, so many people need things and cheering up". We have made the donation in her name and she will receive her T-shirt shortly.

(As an interesting side note, we're now up to 12,000 hugs. You guys really like to hug each other!)

Lots of improvements coming out in the coming weeks...stay tuned!

Doug
