Spot Lil' Franny Dee, Win Money

October 30, 2013Uncategorized

Are you familiar with a little black-and white image of our favorite owl, Franny Dee? Franny Dee sits on a the “Make an Appointment” button on our website — but there’s another version that’s tiny, and black and white.
That’s Lil’ Franny Dee!
If you spot her, you can win a $10 giftcard.
Here’s how to win:

Look for Lil’ Franny Dee in UHP content (she’s a little owl, and is always black and white).
When you see her, go to our Facebook page.
Be the first to post “I Saw Lil’ Franny Dee in ____________!” on our wall. Make sure to include where you saw her, so we know you’re not just really, really, slow about reading the NewsFlash or something.
The same person can’t win twice in a row.
Old Lil’ Franny Dees don’t count! Each one can only be won once.

Lil’ Franny Dee could show up anywhere from in the text of an Honors Program newsletter to blog posts to photobombing pictures on Facebook or Twitter. Keep your eyes peeled and you can win!
So put on your best detective hat, and don’t miss her!
