April20

Moms are simply amazing, that’s all there is to it! We at Linn Area Credit Union want to celebrate their awesomeness by bringing back our Nom the Mom contest. For the second year in a row, we have partnered with the generous people at City Looks Salon & Spa to find one very deserving mom and then pamper her like it’s going out of style! (But it’s not going out of style, I assure you. Pampering is here to stay.)

The prize package (value of $300):

A Spa Facial or 50 minute Full Body Massage, Spa Manicure and Spa Pedicure, Hair Style and Makeup application and beautiful basket full of Aveda Bath & Body products! (value of $300)

How to Nominate a Mom:

To nominate that super-spectacular mom in your life (your mom, wife, sister, grandma, friend, co-worker, etc.), email the following things to tbross@linnareacu.org:

  1. Her story. Tell us in 500 words or less why she deserves to get pampered! You can do this in a story, poem, sonnet – whatever! Don’t feel like writing? We’ll also consider video nominations – talking, singing, interpretive dance, live footage, just keep them under 3 minutes, please! The more creative, the better!
  2. Her picture. We want to see this lovely lady you’re gushing about!
  3. The full first and last name of the nominee.

    I would like to vote for Judy Brewer. She is a wonderful person and mother. Both of her son’s were in boy scouts and became eagle scouts. The youngest, Andrew, is now in college. But she still helps the troop by guiding scouts through the eagle process. She encourages and supports every child she meets. She has taken me and my son under her wing and treats us like family. She is a fantastic friend. She is always so patient and understanding. Very rarely do you every hear her complain or talk badly about anyone. She is one of those people that everyone would like to be like. I truly have been blessed by meeting and getting to know her.

    Helen Girard was my colleague for many years and she is SO deserving of this reward. I watched her helping confused students over and over again and NEVER saw her become impatient. She helped me with coursework and has always been there for me. She would never indulge herself with a spa day and will love having this relaxing attention!
