A 2004 VaultGirls calendar from http://www.vaultgirls.com/

For a mere pittance ($19.95) you can buy your favorite vault fanatic
12 months of the lovely VaultGirls. In their own words -

"The 2004 Vaultgirls calendar showcases elite women pole vaulters in
action & showing a more artistic side. These women are among the top
ranked athletes in the USA: Olympians, NCAA champions, & former
American Record holders. Athletes include Mel Mueller, Tracy O'Hara,
Mary Sauer, Jillian Schwartz, Jill Starkey and Kellie Suttle.

All profits from the calendar will go to the athletes to support their
2004 Olympic endeavors. It will help supplement the costs of training,
nutrition, travel, equipment and living expenses.

The mission of Vaultgirls is to provide fit, athletic role models
for women. Our goal is to destroy the myth that athletic bodies are
not feminine. Our vision is to help create a society that believes
that sports and fitness are important to the development of self-
confidence and well being for women."

Hey all I know is that 6 fabulous ladies, 12 wonderful months and
lotsa cool photos plus you're helping fund thier training. Not bad eh?
