Encourage your teenage members to enter their photos in the new C-Note photo contest theme, Fun in the Rain, before midnight, June 28.

The $100 winner of the most recent contest theme, Furry Friends, is Hattie, 14, Kalama Wash.

Resting in the Grass

Hattie says about her winning photo, "My dog Pepper is resting in the grass after she fetched a rock I threw for her."

Congratulations to Hattie and Pepper. There's no friend like a furry friend!

And hats off to Angela Housley, marketing coordinator, Red Canoe Credit Union, Longview, Wash. Red Canoe features individual links to each of the three levels of Googolplex on its Youth Accounts page that stylistically match the graphic design of the website.

Unless they already own computers that they can use, college-bound C-Note readers say they are purchasing new laptops for the great fall migration.

Share recent posts from Kevin, the C-Note tech blogger, with your teenage members and point them to the lively discussions in Talk Back—the comment box just below each post—to help them make their decisions:

Here is the recent poll question* and responses:

Q: Will you purchase a new computer for college?
