Eileen:
indeed, it starts on Monday, November 2nd at 3pm ,buy since everybody here seems to wait until the last minute to finally give money, I was referencing the DEADLINE: 2:59 PM EST on Tuesday, Nov 3rd. It's not my fault that this contest does not comport with the calendar but since it started at 3pm EST, that is how the rules read.
You however are always an early bird so I understand your concern. If only more OCF posters were obsessive like us about doing it early & often (donate that is)
