Finding Dora Drawdy Fundraiser - An Event for the Ladies
The Center for Multicultural
Wellness and Prevention, Inc., will host a fund raiser – “Finding Dora Drawdy”- on Saturday April 27, 2013 at the LakesideInn, downtown Mount Dora. The Lakeside Inn will be the host site where the
event starts and ends. The event will start at 10:00am sharp in the lobby of
the Lakeside Inn, where $30 ticket holders will be able to pick up a map of the
participating stores that will feature candidates for the “Finding Dora Drawdy” contest. There will be 20 participating stores
in downtown Mount Dora that will feature their own rendition of Dora Drawdy to
the public. Ticket holders ($30) will be able to use 15 coupons (which will be
given to them upon signing in at the Lakeside Inn) to vote for their favorite Dora
Drawdy candidate. Ticket holders will use the map, which will have the names
and locations of all participating stores, to visit and vote for their favorite
Dora Drawdy candidates. Ticket holders can use all 15 coupons at any one store
or they can vote among different stores.
Additionally, all ticket holders ($30) are entitled to lunch at the
Lakeside Inn. If you do not have a ticket holder, but would like to vote for
your favorite Dora Drawdy candidate, you will be able to visit the
participating stores, purchase a $1 coupon and place your vote in the box next
to the stores’ Dora Drawdy candidate. Each participating store can increase
their chance of winning the grand prize by encouraging visitors to purchase
extra $1 voting coupons.

Kreskin's Super Bowl Challenge; A Success On Monday, February 4th, 2013 Kreskin returned to the Fox Business Network on After the Bell when his prediction was revealed. It was the first time he attempted to forecast the score of such a game. His predictions read; Ravens...would win...their score...34 49ers...score...29 [their final score was 31] Sportswriters had told Kreskin that had a particular call gone another way in the last minutes of the game, Kreskin's prediction of 29 would have been correct. See it unfold as it did on Fox http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2142463501001/
