Many thanks to everybody who pitched in for our bare bones 2016 email blast fundraiser! We continue to be overwhelmed by your generosity, particularly in helping out for our first PayPal-only fundraising “event” when even the sales pitch isn’t very exciting. Thanks to you, in let’s say “a few short days during the hectic holiday […]
We’ve got big plans for something very new for 2017, but we haven’t had an official fundraiser for 2016 yet (the raffle was actually 2015’s fundraiser, despite the date of the drawing). As such, with little fanfare, but a couple email blasts, we’re requesting PayPal donations to keep the lights on at Clambake Society Scholarship […]
Congratulations to Marie Sandstrom*, winner of the 2016 Clambake Society Scholarship! Once again, the patterns in applications were hard to ignore.

Congratulations to Zach Schreiber, our 2015 winner! This was the best contest in recent memory, and a couple of our runners-up might even have had better responses to single questions, but Zach’s application was great from start to finish. He managed to perfectly appeal to our selection committee’s taste in movies, and (bizarrely but truly) […]

More applications this year! They look great! A couple more people chose Column A than Column B, which reveals something deep about your psychology that we can’t tell you. But the people who chose the other way understand, so ask them if you think you’re ready to know. Seriously, thanks for your applications. This is […]
