Cruise and mingle with Miss NH 2009 Lindsey Graham and the 2010 Miss NH contestants on a brunch cruise on Sunday, August 23 around beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee. Proceeds for this annual fundraiser go to the Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Fund, a 5013c organization.

The brunch cruise will board at noon at Weirs Beach. Tickets cost $45.00 per person (plus a $2 service fee when charging by phone) and are tax deductible. To purchase tickets from the Miss NH Scholarship Program office send an email to exec@missn.org or call (603) 437-9027. 

"This is a wonderful fun-filled fundraising event for the Miss NH Scholarship fund.  The Mount Washington Cruise lines have remained a valued sponsor for us," stated Claudette Jolin, Co-Executive Director, Miss NH Scholarship Program.

During the 2008-2009 Miss NH program year, twenty-six different young women competed for more than $89,000 in scholarships and gifts granted at the local level. The yearlong competition for the 2009 Titleholder went from more than 60 down to one by the end of the 63rd Annual Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Competition held last May.

The M/S Mount Washington is a 230 ft. ship with 4 levels, 3 dance floors, and several outside areas for enjoying the cruise during the daytime or evening.

It is also possible to check in on a cruise from anywhere by accessing the web camera on the website www.cruisenh.com. The camera is mounted above the wheelhouse, providing a captain's view.

The family-owned Mount operates May through October, offering daytime scenic, evening dinner & dance, and special themed cruises. With a capacity of 1,250 passengers, the Mount serves as the largest restaurant in the state and a popular gathering point for school proms, college reunions, large corporate celebrations and weddings. Approximately 700 happy couples have tied the knot aboard the M/S Mount Washington.
