[blparent] Fw: A quick vote will help Seedlings Braille Books!

Mon May 21 22:56:31 UTC 2012

It's that time again.  Please read the information below and cast your vote for Seedlings, an organization that makes it possible for blind people of all ages to own braille books at a reasonable cost.  Also, many blind parents rely on Seedlings to get books they can read to their children.

FYI, when I used my e-mail address to vote last year, I did get a few junk mail messages from Art Van Furniture, but I easily unsubscribed from the mailing list and had no more trouble.

Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth

      2. It's much easier to help this year: You only need to vote once per email address by 5-31 rather than having to vote everyday!

      How: Go to their site, click on VOTE and follow the instructions (don't stop until you get the message saying "Thank you for voting")! Remember, you can only vote once per email address.

      Additional ways to help: Encourage others to vote by sending this information to your friends, family, coworkers, listservs, and social media.

      We are up against some really large organizations, but last year ... thanks to all of your help and support ... we were able to win a $15,000 grant, and we turned that into hundreds of braille books! We thank you in advance for your support again this year! 

      Little dots, and little acts of kindness, can make a BIG impact!
      Please take a moment to vote for Seedlings today! Thank you!
