My sister's video did not win the "Cartwheel for a Cause" contest.
But her good work paid off. This story has a happy ending!
I didn't get around to opening yesterday's snail mail until late last night. In the pile of mostly junk was a plain white envelope that was hand addressed to me at CTT. There was no return address. Inside was a cashier's check for $5,000 made out to CTT, along with the following unsigned letter:
"Dear Ms. Feinstein,
I watched a profile of your organization a few days ago on NBC Action News (Channel 41). The segment discussed your desire to win a video contest and highlighted the activities of your non-profit organization (Change the Truth).
After viewing the piece, I went to your website to research your organization a little further. The Lord spoke to my heart, and I wish to assist you. I understand that the prize for the video contest is $5,000. On behalf of all the wonderful people you are trying to assist, please accept my humble donation for this amount.
May God continue to bless you and your organization, Change the Truth, as well as the beautiful people you are helping to assist."
Wow!

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.
