Another reminder that the "ILLINOIS SAVE YOUR CHANGE CHALLENGE" is
on! This year, we are asking everyone involved with the
organization (contestants, local directors,
volunteers...everyone) to gather up their loose change and
keep it in a gallon milk jug that each individual will also
decorate. Then in 2009 at Spring Forum,
everyone will turn in their change. A portion of the
proceeds will benefit Children's Miracle Network - the
official charity of the Miss America Organization. We
will also award prizes for the most creatively decorated
milk jugs.
