Do you have a Facebook Account? Would you like to use it for good works?

Let us suggest a way! Participate in the "Kohl's Cares for Kids" campaign, which is open until September 3, 2010.

Each person receives 20 votes, and can vote up to 5 times for an individual school.

In particular, we'd like to suggest Mount Ellis Academy in Bozeman, MT.

Mount Ellis is an SDA academy, educating young people since 1902. Currently they have over 20,000 votes in "Kohl's Cares for Kids" and are well into the running for an amazing $500,000 grant. MEA is currently in the top 20 schools in the nation, but needs to stay there until voting ends in order to win this grant.

Mount Ellis will use the grant to renovate their water/sewer system, which is more than 50 years old and in need of major repairs. Just the first phase of renovations is estimated to cost $600,000, so this is a HUGE opportunity for them.

Voting is simple and takes less than two minutes. By clicking on the voting link below you’ll be taken to the application on Facebook and can follow the process there. Just search for Mount Ellis Academy and select their name from the drop down list. Then “like” Kohl’s and close that window. Click on the orange, “Cast A Vote” button five times to cast five votes. That’s it – you’re done. Please take an extra second to share it with all your friends to give them the largest exposure possible. This is really important to get their story out there and get as many votes as possible. Just click the blue “f share” button after voting and ask all your friends to help support Mount Ellis Academy.

If you'd like to help out, but don't have a Facebook account, just forward this email to a friend who's a "Facebooker." Every vote counts!
