Time to vote again!

Hop into some air-conditioning in your home, or school, or library, or local book store or coffee shop, or ice cream shop and enjoy the cool breeze and text and vote with ease!

I could use just a few more people to help with the voting coalition. This is set up to get us an extra 700-1000 votes. It takes about 2 minutes. If you would like to help, please email me at [javascript protected email address]

Thank you for all those texts and votes.

We are STILL in the running to win a Pepsi Refresh grant of $50,000 to be used for 1,000 partial Every Child Can scholarships.

We need you all to vote online and text once a day. Instructions below.

Think about this:

I believe if every US SAA member voted ONLY 5 time between now and 8/31 AND they had 10 others (i.e. students, studio parents, family members, combo of texting and voting) vote only 5 time between now and the end of the month we would have enough votes to win.

It’s that easy! We’re not asking for money. Just online…

Hi folks,

We are in the 20s! So I have now put on my flappers and my pancake makeups and am ready for us to break into the teens.

We have joined a vote sharing coalition that can give us an extra 700-1000 votes a day.

We could use a few more folks to help with this. All you would have to do is vote for the 9 other prearranged groups along with ours. It takes 5 minutes or less to set up and 2 minutes total each day.

Please shoot me an email if you would…

Hi All,

Pepsi fixed the problem and we jumped up to as high as #25 last night! We are getting so close I can taste it (the grant $ that is, I’m not a Pepsi drinker…)

You can vote online AND text for us once each day in August (that’s 2 votes every day). This takes less thank a minute! The top 10 vote getters get the grants. Instructions on voting below.

Top 10 Ways to Help

If everyone who votes does at least one of these we’ll move up a lot!

1. Forward this to your Suzuki studios…

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for your continuous votes and texts for our ECC Grant.

Something fishy may be going on…

We were #38 on Sunday and 24 hours later we had dropped 100+ spots to #140.

I’ve been doing some investigating and we are not alone with the 100 spot drop and they are shocked too! It is under investigation and I will keep you informed.

So until Pepsigate is resolved, please don’t give up and vote and text every day.

Thanks,

James

PS—I’m pretty sure I have the winner of our free ECC voting contest. Pepsigate threw me off…

Hi Everyone,

We are coming to the end of the month and we are in the 40s which is pretty darn good since we started in the 300s.

The good news is we are high enough in the rankings that our grant application will be in the running again in August and we will have another shot at the $50,000!

It is important to vote every day between now in Sunday so we don’t lose our position, but it is MOST important to vote on Sunday August 1st. That is when the voting starts over fresh and we…

Here’s the winning math:

• 30% (1 out of 3) best case: 10 spots to #40

• 50%(1 out of 2) best case: 16 spots…

Hello again my extended Suzuki family!

We moved up to the 50s!

So I’ve put on my poodle skirt and am working on my beehive hairdo (maybe a little too much information!), and we are getting closer to our top 10 goal each day!

Instructions on how to vote are at the bottom of the email.

Today’s thoughts to consider:

1. If we send this to all of our Suzuki families and they vote every day, I believe we would be moving up 6 or more spots a day instead of 3-4

2. A few folks are having problems getting…

Hello again my extended Suzuki family!

We moved up to the mid 60’s!

So I put on my Beatles records and my polka dotted shirt AND pants, but we still need to work our way up to the top 10.

Instructions on how to vote are at the bottom of the email.

Today’s thoughts to consider:

1. All you have to do is spend 1 minute a day placing a vote for us. It’s that easy, but we still need all of you to vote every day.

2. Please forward these emails to the families in your studio.

3. More people…

Hi extended Suzuki Family,

We have stalled in the 70s!

As much as I like disco and bell bottom pants, we need everyone to vote every day so we can move up to the top 10 and receive the grant.

Link to vote is at the bottom of this email…

Some things to consider:

1. A grant was awarded to a group in NC a couple of months ago that I have been told was getting about 2,500 votes a day. We have over twice that many members are this email. If you all voted every we would be still…
