by Elizabeth Young 15 Jan '11

Today's Vegan Bake Sale in SF, hosted in the Mission by Vegansaurus as a benefit for MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue and Muttsville Senior Dog Rescue was a huge success and a really wonderful time, attended by many more Mickaboomers and MickaCoo volunteers and SF area animal welfare activists and rescuers than pictured here. MickaCoo received $1045 in donations today! http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=5562…

Hi, just my 2 cents worth: Instead of replacing the web address with the text messaging info, why not provide both options? Some people prefer texting, others prefer web.

by Elizabeth Young 14 Jan '11

Note the flyer Katie created! Even with lots of email requests, I had to talk to folks in person to get them voting. We're at #75. We're still climbing but not fast enough. There are LOTS of folks who would vote for us who aren't yet because we haven't personally asked them. Please ask folks to text 105245 to 73774 AND to click vote and to sign up for a daily email reminder- Please subscribe to a daily voting reminder by emailing: pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org Elizabeth PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues today & every day this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Pepsi Grant - question answered
by Elizabeth Young 14 Jan '11

Previously it was but not this time. Pepsi is making some changes and all will have to reapply to participate in April. By far the easiest thing to do would be for us to ask more people to text and vote for us now and just do this. We have unlimited potential to generate voters. All we have to do is ask. I'm finding in-person requests to be the most effective and asking folks to sign up for a daily reminder - *Please subscribe to a daily voting reminder by emailing: **pepsichallenge-<pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org> subscribe <pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org>@mickaboo.org<pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org> * * * e * * * * On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 10:33 AM, <MReedOAK(a)aol.com> wrote: > I saw one posting that said if you make the top 100 you automatically > roll over to the next month.

Every comment for the past two days in support of the Children's Hospital of Oakland gene therapy grant ( http://www.refresheverything.com/designertherapyforkidswithcancer) is from MICKABOO & 'COO people!!! Thank you for not only voting for our grant but for also being such rock stars about supporting our partner! (AND for leaving comments which requires another step.) We've got another partner that really generates votes for us- The Wildlife Rehab & Release group (in Grass Valley, known and supported by our own Francie!) Please vote and comment for them too- http://www.refresheverything.com/wildliferehab We've climbed 24 notches in the ranking in less than one week. We've got a little more than two weeks to go. We still need to recruit more voters BUT WE CAN DO THIS!
