last year a project to help build sheds for folks brought together
construction students, contractors and materials to provide 12 sheds for people who lost their homes. I posted a video of it on my space. go to www.myspace.com and look for Laurelwoodsorrel or try this

Voting continues til the end of the month. Please help us!!
The Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council wants to help re-build 3
of the over 200 homes destroyed by fire. There were so many
left homeless and displaced by this fire.

If we can get to the top 100 it will be an advantage...
do not give up...we are at 101! Only 3 more days....
remind all your friends, neighbors, relatives, mudcat,
facebook and my space friends to join in the last minute

There is a wonderful project that some volunteers have
helped with to build a straw bale house for a family
with 6 children. With this same community spirit you
can offer your help from the comfort of your own home..
please vote every day so our project can be in the top
100.

Very neat notion, Kat. I suspect we're pretty much on our own this time. Thanks for the thought.

Back to Concow cabin project voting. Best regards, Laurel.

It's all relative, maeve. Your loss is no less for being one place. I wish there were something like that where you are, too. I *wish* we had a travelling Mudcat caravan which could start at your place with an old-fashioned clear-the-space and "barn" raise, then tootle out to Calif. to help out Laurel and Co., while stopping along the way to help out any others which might need a little "fixin'". Wouldn't that be neat?

I hope your Concow cabin project wins out, Laurel. We could use something like it here, though our disaster may be small in comparison.

i am not sure yuo can vote for the same cause 10 times each day
i heard that you can only vote for one item in each price category
i wish they would make the rules clearer. when i tried to vote on the second day the system could not find me. it turned out that the program would not recognize hyphenated names...

keep clicking...we thank you...one of the local schools closed down partly due to so many children being displaced out of the community
by losing thier homes. The effects of the fire sends ripples thru the community on many levels!

If Pepsi can quench the thirst of people whose homes were destroyed by dry parched fires wimply with the refreshing help from beverage sales, you have my vote.

It would be prudent to show how many children were displaced from those fires. It seems most of the Pepsi winners are children issues.

Its both hopeful and sad though. I remember I had the same feeling watching Queen for a day.

sheesh I am about to give it up. Don't know what I'm missing. Went to the Concow cabin thing, registered, have seen the various applicants/ideas, went to food and shelter.

The only food and shelter proposal I see is for dogs and other pets.

Isn't it possible to link to a more direct place?

Buried in the rules:

During the Voting Periods listed in the Application Entry Table above in Section 2, individuals who have registered on the Website to vote for the Applications they think should receive Grants ("Voters") will be allowed up to ten (10) votes (each a "Vote") per Voter per day during each Voting Period. Each Participant in the Grant Program will also be allowed up to ten (10) Votes each day of each Voting Period.

Just FYI. That means come again an vote another day, too, to be effective.

maeve, I was thinking of you and wondering if there were some way that site would be able to help you, too.

I'll be glad to pitch in, Laurel. We've only been in our camper since May after the fire that consumed our home in December, and I'm not looking forward to winter. You've been waiting much longer.

I hope this project will help you.

As you may know, mine was one of over 200 homes destroyed by fire 2 years ago.

I would like to request assistance from all my Mudcat friends...there is a grant that can provide homes for several of the folks who lost their homes in the local fires 2 years ago. The Pepsi "Refresh" grant might help with this project. We need votes, and you are able to vote once every day in Sept. Please log in to: www.Refresh...Everything.com (the Pepsi Refresh Everything Project) and give us your vote of support. Mine is one of over 200 homes destroyed by the camp fire 2 years ago, and many of us are not yet in permanent living situations. Our local non-profit, Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council asks you to vote early and vote often for our proposed project. It would mean so much to those of us who have been displaced by this fire. Think of what it would be like if your house and all your belongings disappeared all of the sudden and multiply this times 200! A simple click would help so much...please vote for this project and ask your friends and family to do the same. Thank you, Laurel, fire survivor.

look for the project called 3 fire safe cabins for concow....
thank you for your support....please ask other friends, family to vote too, won't you?
