May Super Consumer Prize Is Just In Time For Summer

Becky Gale of Waterloo is the first May Think Monroe County First “Super Consumer” drawing winner. Gale has won a 3-month family membership without activation fee to the Monroe County YMCA! We hope she enjoys all the great activities at the Monroe County YMCA.

Her winning ticket was drawn at K&D Printing in Waterloo. The prize was donated by the Monroe County YMCA-HTC Center and is a $300 value. The next winner has been drawn and will be announced on May 22. The second May winner will receive a heart-shaped pendant, valued at $100 and donated by Reiniger Jewelers in Waterloo.

In June, consumers can enter to win two more great prizes donated by Clark’s Country Oaks of Waterloo and Vibrant Health and Body. Clark’s Country Oaks is donating a quilt rack, valued at $135.

Watch your local newspapers--the Monroe County Clarion, Monroe County Independent and The Republic-Times--for coverage on winners as well as the next "Conscious Consumer" feature.
