What's your Someday Story dream?From June 9th to August 25th, Wells Fargo is awarding $1,000 for the "Story of the Week." In July and August, five finalists will each receive $10,000 toward fulfilling their "Someday" goal. The prizes will be announced on September 17th, and a team of Wells Fargo financial professionals will help winners develop the plan to achieve their goals.

The prize delivery, financial consultation and winners telling their individual "Story" will be filmed and a two-minute clip posted online.

Hey BUPPHA:

Thanks for sharingyour "Someday" dream with us! I sure hope you also sent this in via the "Someday Stories" web site or by mail.

Good luck to all entries!

I missed spelled one word on my someday entry. I am upset by that. Will that mistake make a difference in the judges' decision?

No Way!!

Deadlines count though -- anything AFTER 7/25 would not count, even with perfect spelling!
