Need help from my peeps to help SA win a book contest.

louden48 · 11-14-2006

I know how we've helped sway a poll in the past. I'm hoping it's not too late to ask y'all to help jump on the bandwagon one more time. This contest ends tomorrow, so if you have time and read below it will explain all about the contest.
San Antonio has the chance to win 20,000 children's books with First Book's "Cast Your Vote For Reading" Challenge. This is an online voting contest between ten major cities; the city with the most votes by November 14 wins the books - and the San Antonio Library would be eligible to get them. Right now, San Antonio is in 1st place, tied with another city.

Please take a few seconds to vote for San Antonio at
www.firstbook.org/superpages and then pass this on to your friends and colleagues so they can help too!

And remember: Vote early and vote often! The contest ends, tomorrow,November 14.

Thanks for your help!
Christy

Thanks!

Worthy cause indeed. Just cast my vote, but it's a tight race, (dead heat 40% to 40%) we need more peeps here to make the difference.

Done and done.
But SA is down by 2 percentage points...

playabum17 · 11-14-2006

Done!

jflattracker · 11-14-2006

I voted for you! Tampa is winning though.

sunnygrl · 11-14-2006

Just voted Christy and Tampa is way ahead!
Hope you still make it!

Hmmmmm, LA and NYC have nada! Guess they don't read much.

Seakony · 11-14-2006

Duh...even "dancing with the stars" lets you vote 5 times.
Looks like tampa has a big lead.

louden48 · 11-14-2006

I wish my friend had sent this earlier! It's too bad that it looks like we won't win. Oh well, at least the kids in Tampa will get some good books. It looks like a great nonprofit organization.

BTW, it looks like Christian might have the Chicken Pox. I just talked to his teacher who confirmed that there are a few kids at the school with Chicken Pox, eventhough they have had the vaccine. Just what I need!
