vote now !!

My sweet and talented sister Bobbie has entered a contest. It's a contest sponsored by a credit union in her home state of Washington. It's a contest that lets people publicly cheer for their favorite cause. It's a contest that requires said people to cram all the information about that cause (plus a cartwheel) into a one minute video. It's a contest that calls upon the public to vote on the videos.

It's a contest that gives away $5,000.00 to the first place vote-getter, $2,000.00 to the second and $1,000.00 to the third.

It's a contest that brings me to my knees in front of each of you as I call out (looking up at your perfectly beautiful face): VOTE NOW!

Bobbie did a magnificent job on this video. Thank you, sis.

Oh, did I mention that the cause she chose is Change the Truth?



See it for yourself here or by going to the Verity Credit Union website.

On their website you can view all 37 one-minute videos and vote for your favorite (all are excellent causes). OR, to save time, you can just scroll down to #18 and watch the video made by Bobbie Baker and then vote, or if you're really pressed for time (heh heh) simply click on #18, then vote!

This is important. The prize is huge; it's one that could go a verrrrrry long way toward helping the kids at St. Mary Kevin Orphanage.

So, please vote (you can only vote once). And then please ask your entire family to also vote. And your office mates. And your school mates. Oh, and all your Facebook friends. And then be sure to ask them to ask their entire family, and so on. I think you know how these things work. Voting ends on March 2nd.

Cartwheel for a Cause is the name of the contest. I think our video might be the only one with a cartwheel all the way from Uganda! (Thanks, Melissa.)

Ok, enough from me. Now get off this blog, head over to the Verity blog and VOTE!

Please.
