 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crunchydomesticgoddess.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/mmbnelogo_2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Mothers Milk Bank of New England&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://crunchydomesticgoddess.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/mmbnelogo_2.thumbnail.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mothers Milk Bank of New England&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A blogging friend of mine, Tanya at &lt;a href=&quot;http://breastfeeding.blog.motherwear.com/2008/01/mothers-milk-ba.html&quot;&gt;Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog&lt;/a&gt;, is trying to get a new Mothers Milk Bank started in New England, where no such facility currently exists. To help raise money for this worthy organization, she entered a contest on Ideablob where a monthly winner gets $10,000 for their cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Milk Bank needs money for 1) processing and storage equipment, 2) a &quot;Milk Money&quot; fund to help families whose insurance won&#039;t cover processing fees, and 3) marketing materials to get the word out about the new bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;!--break--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The MMB of NE made it into the finals (yay!) but it is falling behind and needs all the votes it can get to win. &lt;strong&gt;This is where you come in!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Would you please consider taking a minute to click over and vote?&lt;/strong&gt; You do need to register to vote, but it only takes about 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://ideablob.com/ideas/1248-Got-Milk-Help-save-babies-li&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vote for the Mothers Milk Bank of New England&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;bra.&lt;br /&gt;
Please, please pass this on to any breastfeeding supporters you know. Voting ends on Jan. 31.&lt;/bra.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for your help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amy&lt;br /&gt;
