Okay all you of out there in blogland - time to participate in the Newspapers In Education fundraiser - "Baby Idol 2008." The hypnomamas decided to enter our babies into the Cincinnati Enquirer's photo contest. Each vote costs 25 cents. The money goes toward Newspapers in Education which provides newspaper-related resources, lesson plans, etc. to K-12 teachers. And the winner gets over $500 in baby-related prizes!
There are almost 300 babies in the contest & the first round of voting starts today (and ends 3/14/08)!
You can vote a couple of ways:
1) Visit http://www.cincinnati.com/babyidol and use your credit card to vote (the minimum for credit cards is $5.00 for 20 votes).
2) Voting ballots are also available in The Enquirer, CiNWeekly & the Community Press. You can also send votes to the Customer Service Office at 312 Elm St. Cincinnati, OH 45202. There is one free vote per paper ballot.
JOSEPHINE is #233. Online, she is in the bottom row (you have to scroll over). In the newspaper (today's edition) she is on pg. 11.
So, best case scenario - Josie wins & gets some cool prizes. Worst case scenario, she got her picture in the newspaper and a great organization raises funds for a great educational program. Sounds like a win-win to me!
Email me if you have any questions. (Good luck Josie.)
