<DIV>Some of the smaller basset rescues, although deserving, have pretty much no chance of winning</DIV>
<DIV>any money in the Petfinder Shelter Challenge. So we put our heads together and here is The</DIV>
<DIV>Plan:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are weekly prizes for the most votes during that one week. Week is Monday AM through</DIV>
<DIV>Sunday PM (will confirm that). The thought is: basset rescues who want to participate. Email me</DIV>
<DIV>your information. We will draw from a hat by May 20th the names of our "winners". Then we will</DIV>
<DIV>ask the Drool to vote for one rescue per week to see if we can score some basset money.</DIV>
<DIV>It is easy to vote, you do not get spam email from it. And while you are there, you click to donate</DIV>
<DIV>food to shelter animals. (And they have great stuff to buy for all you shoppers)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are 26 weekly prizes, so we have a good chance at this, you guys. The first couple weeks will</DIV>
<DIV>go to the bigger groups who always get lots of votes, so we will start at the end of May.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All you have to do is write the weekly rescue's name on a piece of paper and stick it on your</DIV>
<DIV>computer. Every day, go to the website (you can bookmark it) and vote. You can vote from many</DIV>
<DIV>computers, so you can vote from home and work. You can also email friends and families and ask </DIV>
<DIV>them to vote. The next week, we go to the second rescue drawn from the hat. And then the third.</DIV>
<DIV>A basset sweep! </DIV>
<DIV>I believe in the power of the Drool and we can do this. </DIV>
