We are officially competing for funds for "Our Kids" (meaning children in Guatemala who need our help!) in the American Express Members Project. The contest is for what projects will get a share of the 2.5 million from American Express. Can you imagine what our community could do for the children of Guatemala with a big boost from American Express???
I have to be honest and tell you that we were writing up our description right up until the deadline for entering projects. The site "timed-out" on us several times clearing everything out....when we finally did, it had cut off some of our text. So, I apologize....we were unable to load photos and clean up the description.
PLEASE, PLEASE visit AmericanExpress.com and vote for us!!!!!

PLEASE LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW and SPREAD THE WORD!!! Announce it on your FaceBook, your MySpace, send it out by email.

Posted by: cheryl at August 20, 2008 11:31 AMI will pass this on to some forums I am a part of. Have you checked out ning.com for different support groups? I'm sure they have one with lots of members and you can post your information on there to get the word out.

If you have trouble, use this link: http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/NVRAXK
that will take you to our Project page and you can hit the Nominate this project button.
Yeah, I think some of their widgets are not working right. But we'll try to fix anything we can. If you can't get on now, please try again later!!! The more votes, the better!
