It’s time to announce the third Weekly Winner of QuickBooks Premier 2012!  As a reminder, Intuit has generously donated nearly $8,300 worth of FREE QuickBooks 2012 products and services for me to give away!

I’m pleased to announce the latest Weekly Winner.  To enter the drawing this week, all you had to do was subscribe to this blog by entering your email address.  A random number generator (www.random.org) was used to select the number of the lucky winner of QuickBooks Accountant 2012 for FREE! And the winner is……..

Charlene F. Hudson, MBA – www.hudsonacountingservices.com

Congrats Charlene!

You may have noticed a delay in announcing the winner this week.  The first random winner did not reply to the email to confirm they were the winner.  (I suspect they used another email which they may not check very often or something).  So, another winner was randomly selected.  Make sure you do not unsubscribe (through early December at least) and check your email on Wednesday’s in case you’re the winner!
