The Cleveland Park Listserv Has 11,111 Members and We Have a Winner

Back on May 6 when the Cleveland Park Listserv had around 10,700 members, we started a contest asking people to guess the date when the list membership figure would be 11,111.

We hit that palindromic number on August 12, 2011. Margo, a list member since 2006, nailed it right on the nose, and won our prize of an Amazon Kindle.

There were guesses sent in ranging from May 6 (someone thought we could gain more than 400 members in 10 days!) to as far off as March 15, 2012. There were a good many guesses clustered around the beginning and middle of August, as quite a few list members could calculate the rate of growth (between 30-40 members per week) to come up with a fairly accurate guess.

You can find the current membership number (now up to 11,122) on the Cleveland Park Listserv home page at www.cleveland-park.com.

Thanks to all who participated in our guessing game, and congratulations to the winner.
