Vote Like a Maniac

Some very impressive teamwork happened the last 4 days of Round 3. Something changed on Sunday and the votes just kept pouring in. I recorded that there was over 470 votes...on Sunday! That's a great number for a Sunday at 165 more votes than the Sunday before. And then Miraculous Monday happened...about 680 votes! Well done everyone and a big shout out of THANKS to all the voters supporting this great idea. Now let's see at least 680+ votes for 12 days in a row.

To guarantee a win we need to see the number of votes grow each and every day as we gain new recruits. And we MUST vote on the weekends too! There's only one Saturday and one Sunday during this round of voting. PLEASE make those weekend votes...Please!!

It's not too late to find more recruits to help vote us into the Top 10. Please encourage everyone you know, again, to join us in this last push for the $150,000. We cannot leave this just to our Facebook and Twitter friends...we need the support from the immediate community as well. Our social network supporters will follow what our local supporters do. Everybody's grandmother needs to be voting for this! Grandpas too!!

There are some fierce competitors in this upcoming Semi-Final Round. For example, one of our strongest competitors is Trenton High School. They made it to the Semi-Finals in the First Round of voting. They are looking for money for a new track. You may also recognise them as one of the Finalists from the Friday Night Feats competition. Based on the votes they were logging each day in that contest...they finished with over 13,000 votes...it tells me they have lots of supporters and you can bet they will be voting like mad in this last round of the Aviva contest. Let's give 'em a run for their money...pun intended! There are 29 other groups in our category, some of them logging very large numbers per day.

There is no room for forgotten votes in this round.

Remember, there's a lot of wild and crazy things going on out there with some groups doing anything and everything, be it legal or not, to try and get their group to the Top 10. See the previous post A Level Playing Field? as a reminder. We cannot leave our fate in the hands of anyone else. We need to take responsibility for this to win it. Keep voting and keep it legal!

We all know what to do come Monday December 5th. There is one small change in this Semi-Final Round though. These instructions are directly from the Aviva website:

The semi-final voting round lasts only 12 days, from Dec. 5-16. Just like previous rounds, you will have 15 votes to use. However, you can still only vote for the same idea once per day (or 12 times). We encourage you to use your remaining votes towards other ideas, or, at the end of the round, you can choose to leave them unused.
I would like to ask a favour for those 3 extra votes that you cannot give to Seats @ Meets. As I have mentioned, I live in Burlington and there is a very worthy idea here that I would have voted for if it were not for Seats @ Meets being my focus. Please check out this link http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf11368 and if you feel you would like to give your support to the Take a Seat Campaign at Burlington Central High School, I would be greatly appreciative, as I'm sure they would be too. They are in the Medium Category so they are not competing against Seats @ Meets. Keep your votes going to make the backsides of Ontarians more comfortable...in Brockville and Burlington.

I have enjoyed this journey with you. Let's finish it with gusto!

Sincerely,
Marilynn
