All entries mentioning The 3/50 Project on FlipNoteFan.com were tossed in a hat, then one randomly chosen as the recipient of a new Flip Note with our member badge engraved on the front. After selecting the winner, I went back and read her comment. Looks like we hit a grand slam, since she extolls the virtue of both the Project and Flip Notes. Sweet.
Thanks to Flip Note Fan for donating this seriously cool prize.
