I KNOW this should be in the off tops session and , anthony, i really hope this is ok to post here-- it just needs more traffic;;
I posted in off topic a few weeks back about a social services agency that my SIL works for-- they are in competition for a car -- which they could REALLY use-- but they need votes TODAY (thursday) between 10 am and midnight) what follows is from Jody (my SIL)--

'My agency is the only finalist in New England for the Toyota 100 Cars for Good campaign. There have been other finalists in Maine, but we are the only finalist for tomorrow’s voting day – and are competing against 4 other non profits. The winner wins a car – which we will be able to use for situations we run up against that requires extensive travel to rural areas in our efforts to support kids, and will also give us a vehicle to use to allow teens in foster care gain driving experience for their driver’s license – along with many other uses.

The agency to win is the agency who gets the most votes.

I was wondering if you could ask your friends on fb to vote for us tomorrow between 10am-midnight.
All they have to do is log into facebook, then go to www.voteforcare.com. And click on Community Care. Easy. Takes just a second.'

Thanks friends and apologies if this has offended anyone-- it's really a great cause though!

thanks folks!!!! in Koh Samui thailand - will psot TR soon-- it aint' STJ, but it ain't too bad.....

thanks to all who voted -- they came in Second-- by about 3 percent to another deserving group in FLA.-- the fact that a little group from maine could do that well is really a testament to how much everyone helped out!-- so thank you all very much!
now we just need to figure out how to get community care a reliable vehicle! :?
