    Sent them a thank-you note! Probably rambled too much about my gratitude, but what can you do? I am overwhelmed with the awesome.

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    My bad: 310. (!!)

  • Glossaria says:

    I’m such a slacker… been meaning to donate all month, and suddenly realized, “Gee, Halloween. That’s the– ack, that’s the END OF OCTOBER!” So I sat my butt down and picked out 31 projects to donate to today. Time to re-check that total, Sars!

  • Glossaria says:

    …oops. Actually, I probably posted that just after you *did* check the total. :D

  • Jenn C. says:

    Wow, way to GO, Glossaria!

    And yes, thank you note written. A good idea that I had completely not thought about doing.

  • Kristen B. says:

    Thank you message – sent! And now…we dance the dance of the righteous. :)

  • Leigh in CO says:

    Just wanted to note that those desks finally got funded, thanks to some help from my Facebook circle and the awesomeness of the rest of the Tomato Nation. It was a good day!

  • Cristina in Vienna says:

    Written that thank you note, hope someone there actually reads it.
    YAY 310!
    I’m a little sad that it’s almost over, but I certainly will be back next year and I hope by then I’ll be able to make a bigger contribution. Now that I’m forewarned I can save up for it.
    Thanks everyone for being the wonderful caring people you are. It’s been a deeply moving experience.
