NW1, NW2, had major meter contributions...yet they do not show up on the honor boards. Not sure whether that is a function of the name withheld part of not appearing on boards, etc., but did want to acknowledge a meter piggy bank deposit that was huge.

Just in time! Rudolph has picked up his antler lights so that Santa and the herd don't have to rely solely on that glowing nose! Sure to be some foggy areas to navigate on Christmas Eve, so this will be important! Thanks, David A, for coming through with the antler lights!

You're welcome. Sorry it took so long.

Concept2 does a LOT for rowing communities, and communities in general throughout the US. The rowers pictured here on the cover of the National Parks magazine are middle and high school students who are rowing on a "refurbished" Anacostia river outside of DC. The Concept2 on the shaft sure caught my eye right away! Can't help but think that Concept2 is helping to support this team!

When my issue came, I let out a "Woo Hoo!"

[DavidA]

And on a foggy, foggy Christmas Eve (I'm sure it was somewhere!), the Lunie herd has pulled through with a BUNCH of antler lights! Good work, Lunies...and I bet a bunch of us are taking today off from erging!

As always, an amazing amount of meters, and quite the herd of reindeer, for the team!
Congratulations to all!

How much money in total did the team raise?

Is Guinan making her way to 10-Forward?

David

[Kona2]

David A asked how much the Lunie herd earned toward Charity money totals...and I have a number! After I went through the numbers, multiplying out the kilometers ...I realized that it didn't matter to Concept2 if you had 6,565 or 6,000...both were going to be counted as 24 cents. My calciulation gave 26 cents because I counted the remaining three places after the kilometer....I am reluctant to go back through and make it perfect. So we'll have a pretty close ballpark figure.

I did want to go back and name a reindeer for NW1, who earned antler lights. While NW1 doesn't show up on the honor board, NW1 does show up on our affiliation holiday meters. Here's our 58th reindeer, and I sure wish we could have a name associated with this teammate.

Antler lights: 200 K, $6 in charity monies, and the coveted holiday challenge pin!


....Mysterio.....(NW1)

The 58 Lunie reindeer earned an approximate total of $351.00 and some change. That's an impressive contribution! Well done, Lunies!

One of the Lunie traditions is to have a virtual New Year's Eve party. Teammates submit the beverage of their choice to the teammate who is willing to put all these together. In the recent past we have had either Jane or danwho act as the bartender. Who will be Guinan this year? Naturally, I would like Minnie to tell us what she would offer up as appetizers to go with our beverages...
