for Miss Pleasant Grove. It is very simple. You will register on line at www.missamerica4kids.com. It will guide
you through the steps that are required. Then send emails to everyone that you know. I am sure they will be
glad to donate to help you. This has never been an issue for anyone in the past. It is really very simple. This is

raises the most money for CMN.
