Local MDA chapter sponsors typing contest
By Holly Becka
REPORTER
The local chapter of the Mus
cular Dystrophy Association will
sponsor its fourth annual “Flash-
type” contest Tuesday in conjunc
tion with Secretaries’ Week.
Harold Dean, supporter of the
MDA and the event’s sponsor,
said anyone may enter the con
test, which will benefit the MDA’s
research and patient service pro
grams.
“There is a $5 entry fee for the
contest,” Dean said. “When they
sign up, they’ll get an information
packet and a ‘Flashtype’ mug.
The deadline to sign up is April
25 at 10 a.m. when the contest be-
gins.
Dean said the contest will be
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Col
lege Station Hilton’s Pecan
Room.
The first-, second- and third-
fastest typists will be given
plaques, he said. The person who
raises the most money for MDA
will win a trip to. Irving with hotel
accommodations and tickets to
Six Flags.
Dean said contestants' bosses
or f riends may sponsor them, or
typists may sponsor themselves.
“The way it usually works is a
secretary will get her boss to
sponsor her," he said. “They can
pledge so much money per words
per minute typed, but normallya
set amount is pledged for dona
tion. Someone could just raise
money and not take the typing
test, hut we encourage them to
take the test.”
Dean said typists will be timed
individually.
“Contestants will type a three
paragraph letter,” he said. “Mis
takes will take away from the
score.”
He said 10 typists have entered
thus far, but he expects the num
ber to double. Last year five con
testants participated and about
$600 was raised.
“We’re hoping to generate
more publicity this year,” Dean
said. “Anyone who is interested
can call 260-9194 or come by mr
office and sign up.”
Dean is the owner of Dean's
Temporary Services, 402 Tar row
St. in College Station.
