Dear The Balanced Mind Foundation Friends,

This morning I had a wonderful surprise waiting on my laptop – overnight The Balanced Mind Foundation moved up from #10 to #9 in the Pepsi Refresh Contest. An hour later I checked again and we’re at #8. How did this happen? Through each of you and the power of ONE. Every ONE vote, every ONE email, every ONE person that you ask to help. It’s the power of all of these ones that is making a difference and will help us to WIN.

Here are some examples of what The Balanced Mind Foundation members are doing to get out the vote!

One volunteer shared

that her 94 year old father and 83-year old mother are voting every day.

One daughter made a Youtube

video to post on Facebook that tells her moving and inspirational story. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1581664713#!/profile.php?id=583222018

One teen texted

everyone in her phone contacts asking them to vote. Many did.

One dog created

his own Facebook page (well, he had a little help) and is faithfully

campaigning to encourage his ‘friends’ to vote.

One dad

(begrudgingly) overcame his fear of technology and has been voting all

three ways every day.

One board member has been

handing out voting cards (order yours at http://www.thebalancedmind.org/pepsi) at

every event in her area.

One mom asked 18

people at her women’s group to vote. They said “It will

be so cool if The Balanced Mind Foundation wins because we’ll know that we helped”!

One high school teacher

has her classes vote by cell phone each day at the beginning of class.

One high school sports team

votes each day at the beginning of practice.

One The Balanced Mind Foundation member (and volunteer) made

a compelling video and poem about her experience with The Balanced Mind Foundation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdZBedBYiGs

What ONE thing will you do today and every day in November?

The power of team work is amazing!

Your teammate,
