Pink Floyd - not that I can think of and it was not me!

Beach Princess - I wish there was a way to map your handle to a name and I could either make a friend for life or at least put you out of your misery. Can you PM me your name?

Also - none of the awards go out by state. They go out by batch number and there is ZERO correllation to ANYTHING I can determine.

Beach Princess.. I'm sorry. :(

Suzy,

I was going to ask you if you had any luck! No letter here either... Maybe it's because we're in the middle of the country... Our mail also arrives at noon... so I was hoping maybe it showed up this afternoon and I'll get it tomorrow... :-/

And there are only TWO teams - Blue and Gold. I will actually recommend pink with red polka-dots for next cycle! I kinda like it!

I am getting a better view of the 8/29 award letters and they may go out late (I can hear the groans from here). There really is a very complex, multi-step, multi-group effort involved in getting money out the door and accounted for properly. We have more rules than most companies (I just came here two years ago from the 'outside' world) and all steps must be taken and checked or we get into serious jeopardy for future funding. That plus ensuring ALL applications are reviewed and ranked BEFORE we can start awarding is another reason this seems to drag on. We cannot afford to make any awards out of ranking sequence and it would not be a fair practice. You will just have to believe me when I tell you we do not have much free time between February and September (and you would likely be surprised with how few of us there are).

Hang in there please. I am pushing as hard as possible (I already think I have more friends on this blog than at work, but I have always had the customer advocacy gene).

So sorry to hear that beachprincess but definitely try to apply next year as it sounds like they are making the process much easier! Good luck to you, I pray you receive one next year!

NELRP,

You're amazing. Is there a way that you can tell applicants anything about their app? I received an e-mail, but not letter as of yet. Worrying like everyone else, but wondered if you can help. If not, you're still great for alleviating everyone's stress.

In six more posts I think I can PM and email folks. I have recived a couple of PMs, but cannot even reply (the 15 post rule again?). I am happy to provide an update, but do not want anyone posting personal information in this public forum. I am pretty much in a lull between storms as our money is spent, so this is a good week for questions and queries.

I am working my way to 15 also, so that I can PM you

thanks

NELRP help,

I came home to an empty mailbox today. Sigh. I was sent "the email" on 8/2 which seems like it was the 2nd wave of notifications. Does this have any correlation with my chances of funding? Is there still hope for the 2nd round of awards to be sent out on 8/29 (ish)? I'm just dying a little more each day, it's sort of like slowly pulling a bandaid off over a period of months....I just want rip that sucker off and get it over with.

Thanks for any help you can lend, and CONGRATS to all those that received the letter today!!!!!!!!!
