i still can't quite believe that i'm doing this...

Have you ever heard of the clothing store Maurices?  Well, during out last shopping trip to the "big city" I noticed posters advertising their upcoming Main Street Model Search, a competition in which they select a dozen normal girls of all shapes and sizes to model their clothing.  The bulk of the prize is $7,500 to donate to the local charity of the winner's choice.

Long story short, I ended up entering the competition.  The first round is a round of voting open to the public.  I would love to have the fun opportunity to model, but even more, I'd love to see New Hope Pregnancy Clinic and Support, an organization making a difference the lives of young families in my community, have the chance to get some extra funding which would enable them to make an even bigger dent in the needs surrounding us.

Will you please vote for me? In addition to helping me out, each time you vote, you get a coupon and a chance to win gift cards to Maurices.  The voting is open until Monday, the 19th, and you can vote once every 24 hours.  Thank you, thank you in advance!
