Not enough of them volunteered to help and we lost it. (NT) No name 07:33:41 10/26/13 Sat

Result will be lower scholarships for all at state program. (NT) No name 09:31:16 11/01/13 Fri

Sadly it doesn't surprise me. The girls don't seem as involved as they were 5+ years ago. (NT) No name 16:04:40 11/04/13 Mon

It's too bad. Elaine and Trish worked hard for that along with many other of the regular volunteers there. (NT) -- No name, 04:28:55 11/05/13 Tue
Fewer contestants back then ,,not only was there a food stand but also a beer stand and it brought in more..no begging for titleholders to go to locals, or the cruise ..successful golf tournament (NT) -- No name, 17:20:18 11/05/13 Tue

I agree it was a lot of work for the Tidds but it was a lot of work for college students and their parents. Weekends are when the girls study and to go to Gillette was an all day affair starting early and getting home late and then having to get up early for school on Monday. The total for all the games was $13,000 and it took 10+ people to run it. I appreciated the visibility Gillette gave to our program but it was a lot of work. I hope the girls can come up with some other worthy fundraiser because it is for them in the long run. (NT) No name 11:15:15 11/05/13 Tue

Each girl was only asked to go once except for the Tidd's title holders who were asked to go once a month. It isn't THAT much work to give up one day to go down to Gillette. Scholarships this year are down almost $20,000 because of losing Gillette and not raising the usual amount at the golf tournament. The girls are going to be really upset when they don't receive nearly as much as they've had in previous years. (NT) -- No name, 13:26:52 11/05/13 Tue

Agreed, one day is absolutely nothing. If a girl is so overwhelmed that donating one day to help raise money, then she's over-commited (NT) -- No name, 14:05:28 11/05/13 Tue

Gillette contributed $13,000. (NT) -- No name, 15:27:38 11/05/13 Tue

Gillette actually raised $12,000. The golf tournament was down this year by about $6-7,000. Add those two figures together and you get about $20,000. As far as I know, there are 0 fundraisers planned between now and Miss New Hampshire 2014. (NT) -- No name, 16:29:11 11/05/13 Tue

I don't buy it when you say "it's too much work to spare a day" that's a terrible excuse. If they can give up a full day to compete in a local (multiple times throughout the year) then you can spare a day for contributing to the program. Study on the 2 hour drive down. If they can't spare a day I question their commitment to the program and wanting to be Miss New Hampshire. (NT) No name 18:23:23 11/05/13 Tue
