Hey, loyal readers of this blog, could I ask a favor? Actually, it's not a favor for me. It's a favor for my friend Tracy and for West Hollywood Elementary School. Tracy's son goes there and it's also the school where I occasionally go up and teach enthusiastic kids how to draw cartoons.
The school is involved now in an online contest. I'm not entirely clear on how it works but if they get more votes, the school can win a lot more money in funding. There isn't a school in this state that couldn't use more funding and you can help West Hollywood Elementary win. What you have to do is to go to this link and sign up to vote for it as a great school. You'll need to give them an e-mail address so they can send you a ballot…and I can't promise you it won't result in you receiving a bit of junk e-mail. But hey, it's for a good cause.
(If you're wise, you have a special e-mail address for sign-ups and such so that if you get on mailing lists, the resultant messages don't intermingle with your primary e-mail. I have a GMail account for just this kind of thing.)
You can be anonymous when you vote for West Hollywood Elementary and you don't have to leave a comment. Just fill out the info so they send you the confirmation e-mail. Then confirm it and you're done. You will have done a favor for some great kids. Come on. Help stuff the ballot box. It'll be good practice if you ever go to Florida to work on a presidential election. Thanks.
