[V8] An odd request with NAC except ex-V8Q owner :)

Hi Folks,

This is totally off topic, but... ok, I'm evil.  The radio station that 
I run (WLOY @ Loyola University Maryland) has suddenly found itself in 
the running for a $50,000 grant from Pepsi to support our community 
literacy program for elementary and middle school kids in Baltimore.  
The only way they determine the winners is through online voting.  
So... I'm appealing for support from every corner of the planet.  You 
need to sign up to vote, but you can send it to a dead email account if 
you want.  The key is that they allow you to vote 1x per day for the 
whole month.  The top 10 ranked ideas in each $ category at the end of 
the month get funded the rest get dropped and it starts over the next 
month with new entries...  We've been trying to get into the coveted 
1000 competing applicants for most of the year and finally did.  I'd 
sincerely appreciate anyone supporting this that could.  They have 
everything from Facebook apps to Twitter voting, but you can just go to 
our page http://www.refresheverything.com/whathappensnext and vote and 
register easily.

I'm happy to explain (off list) in detail anything you need to know 
about the program but I can tell you that we've been running it (for 
free) for over a year and have huge support from all the kids and 
parents involved and have 5 schools that want us to bring it in-house 
for them to run as soon as possible.  We need the money for gear and 
training support to do that.

Anyway, pardon the interruption of the list and THANKS to anyone that 
supports this, resends it, or facebooks it or whatever you can do.

Thanks,
John
