I'm a FINALIST
 

Oh my goodness I'm so excited! I just found out that I'm one of 5 finalists for a big contest!! Actually, my husband (a Kappa Sigma) is really the finalist. Please help us (read below)!

The contest is for Eagle Brands (they produce condensed milk, dessert kits, etc) - It's their Decadent Dream Vacation Giveaway. You had to nominate someone and write an essay. I nominated my dear husband Michael, so technically he's the finalist. He's been such an incredible husband and father that I just couldn't pass this opportunity up! The grand prize winner receives a $7500 travel voucher for a dream vacation!!

The grand prize winner is determined by online voting. I would really appreciate your votes!!! The essay and my
husband's picture are on Eagle’s website. It's one vote per email address and voting takes 2 seconds. All you have to do is type in your email address, check a box if you want to join their recipe club/mailing list, and click enter. They don't ask for any other information. While there you can also enter their $10,000 sweepstakes if you want to take a short survey about their products .

I would be eternally grateful to those of you who take a minute to vote and/or pass along this message to any of your friends, family, co-workers, internet/message board friends, other GREEKS… that you think would take a minute to vote for us. Please feel free to email this message to anyone you may know. I would VERY much appreciate it!!!

I really would like to do something special for Mike. He has a heart of gold! I've heard through the "grapevine" that some of the other finalists are HUGE "contesters" so it's going to be some very tough competition because although I enter a contest here and there, I'm not a "contester" and may not stand a chance. I just want to do something nice for my hubbie!


Here's the website (he's #3 - MICHAEL, BIRMINGHAM, AL):
http://www.eaglebrandkits.com/vacation_vote.asp

Voting goes through March 31, 2005.

Thanks so much for all your support! I'll keep you updated!




P.S. If anyone has any other ideas on how to get votes, please let me know! (Keep it clean people! ) :)

I voted for him (especially since he's a fellow Kappa Sig).

Good luck.

Sounds like a scam.

Send me a grand and I guarantee you will win the 7.5 k vacation.

Scam? This is definitely NOT a scam!!!! Eagle is a large company that manufactures a lot of different food products. I'm sure they had thousands of entries for this contest.

Thanks again to those of you who voted!! We really do appreciate it!

he got my vote!

bet of luck to you!

Voted, I can post it in my LJ to see if any of my friends would be kind enough to cast a vote!

That story.. was SO touching!

I have my fingers crossed for you.. but like you said, you're already a winner because you have him!

And #4 needs to learn to punctuate!

I voted for him too! :)

I voted too. Good luck! :)

Thank you all VERY VERY MUCH!!!! I couldn't possibly tell you how thankful I am for all of you!! As of right now, we're way ahead in the polls, but that can change very quickly. Voting goes through March 31st!! Ugh! What a long few weeks it's going to be! Thanks again!! And be sure to look through your mail closely, because you never know when someone may nominate you for a big contest!!! :) I hope you will all have this opportunity some day so I can vote for you all!!

Myself, my boyfriend and my brother all voted for him - they just don't know they did. :D Good luck!

oh fun!! you guys are way ahead right now, and i added 5 more votes! (yes, i have too many emails!!! - oh wait, i have my work one too! oh, here comes another one! :D )

Can I tell you again how AWESOME you all are!!!!

Only 23 more days to go until the voting is over......I'm going to need a vacation after this regardless if we win!

just used my other 2 email addresses and the boyfriend's 2 email addresses for you! good luck!

i voted using all 5 of my emails!!

so far, hes pulling out to an early lead....lets hope it says.

you should consider bumping this email later on if it falls off the radar.

I voted for him!! I hope that you guys win...good luck and keep us posted!!!

Ditto.

Dude, he is so gonna win.

He absolutely will win, especially if my Live Journal friends have anything to do with it! I also voted for both my parents!

One of the reasons why he will win?

It's because of all you wonderful people and our sisters in the LJ and MySpace communities!

Go Michael Go Michael Go!!!

You all crack me up!! You're the greatest!! THANK YOU for making me smile and laugh at this very stressful time! I had no idea this contest could be so stressful!

When this is all done, I think we should nominate one of us for the next President, and start campaigning! We could definitely kick some butt!!! Oh, but you have to be 35, right? Anyone over 35? :)

it let me vote 4 times! yay for having multiple addresses!

good luck!

My mom just voted, along with a few friends, lol.

i voted, looks like he has a good lead

Voted 2 x's on my email accs and 2x's on my hubbys. Good Luck
