[blparent] Quick vote will help Seedlings Braille Books!

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Thanks for making the e-mail easier to read, Dave.

The process is a bit cumbersome.  You need to follow the link:

http://artvancharitychallenge.com/

and then click on Vote.  You'll be asked to register, using your first and 
last name, zip code, e-mail address, and a password.  Then A list of 
organizations will come up.  The list is quite long, so if you have a search 
option (in Jaws, it's control-f), look for Seedlings.  Check the box, then 
scroll down to the Vote button.  You'll also be asked if you want to share 
the voting request on Facebook or some other social media sites.

As I said, when I registered last year, I received a promotional e-mail or 
two from Art Van Furniture, but I unsubscribed from the e-mails easily and 
never was bothered again.  It's for a great cause.
