Update : Spelling Bee

Posted on March 20, 2009 by chip

I have been very remiss in my thank you note writing for all of you who donated to the Spelling Bee. The final numbers have not been calculated but the Bee raised around $4000. Our team raised $1200 of that so we are pretty much awesome. I will be selecting the winner for the Chip Prize Pack soon. We spelled several words correctly and two incorrectly.

Correctly spelled : tortoise, philately, croquet, quoin, equinox, lieutenant, tagliatelle

Incorrectly spelled: hellebore, Kinchasa

I would like to point out that we misheard both of our incorrectly spelled words so we need to somehow listen harder next year.

Even though we didn’t win the spelling, we totally blew everyone else out of the water when it came to fundraising. We raised $700 more than our closest competition. So, Yay Triplets!
