And to make it even better, you get to comment on any other blogger's post in hopes that you may win that way if THEY are the grand winner instead! It's a win-win-win, with multiple ways for you to win.
The charity I would choose, should I win, would be the Lee County Library System.
I think the library system is an important fixture in any town, even if I don't go very often (due to me being a bibliophile, who needs to OWN books! :) I never went to the public library as a kid, as my mother never had time to take me, but I wish I had. I did enjoy getting books from the school library though!
