Congrats imatra!
You've officially become green on our spreadsheet!


Can anyone confirm the email address that cic uses to send the letters? I'd like to add it to my contact list so that it doesn't accidentally end up in spam!

My gmail account says " hooray, no spam!" when all I want it to say is, you have spam mail! Never thought I'd be asking for spam mail lol

50% of the first 10 people have received sponsorship...this is so amazing!

I can't wait for more updates!
