Linda's Voting tip for the day
I have been out distributing small "cards" that can "stand up" on a restaurant table to all the local coffee shops and fast food spots in town. So far none has refused and all have taken a poster as well. The cards have very basic info about the Playground & Pepsi project and encourage folks to send us a text while they are waiting for their order. It also directs them to our web site and "daily reminder". You can print the cards us yourself if you get an Avery kit from your local office supply store. Any blank "greeting card" kit will work. Note: directing them to sign up on your mailing list is VERY important. You don't just want one vote--you want them to become a "daily" voter.

How to vote!
You can vote 3 ways for a Pepsi Refresh Grant:
1 - Online, on their regular website - http://www.refresheverything.com/
If you are a new user, you will need to create an account with your email and password. Once you log in, you can vote for up to 10 projects.
2 - Facebook - After you vote for your favorite projects (ours, of course!), you can move on to the Facbook portion. Click on the link underneath the "Vote from Facebook" that says INSALL THE APPLICATION. You may have to sign into your Facebook account. From there, you can vote for another 10 projects (again, ours would be preferable!)
3 - Texting - Pepsi's text # is 73774 - MEMORIZE it! Or better yet, put it as a contact on your phone. Each grant has their own special number to text. Standard messaging rates apply, but if you have unlimited texting, that should be no problem. Psst - vote for our grants :)
And that is the simple voting method. I've also heard that there are now Droid Apps and iPhone Apps to vote - check these out if you have one of these devices - how cool is that - a FOURTH way to vote each day (for our grants, right?)

Hi! We are a group of mostly schools, working together to get our Pepsi Refresh grants in to the top 10 of their categories (or top 2, in the $250K range) so we can get the money. We need you to help us by voting for these grants.
