Adopt a Classroom - Vote!
Adopt-A-Classroom (www.adoptaclassroom.org) has been selected by American Express to potentially win a donation of to $5 million. More than 7,000 projects were submitted, and Adopt-a-Classroom has made the Top 25. Would you please do me and the charity a favour, and take a couple of minutes to vote for her charity on the American Express Members Project website? It's at: http://www.membersproject.com/Education/183
The current round of voting would put them in the final 5. (If you voted once, you need to vote again for each new round of voting).
Adopt-a-Classroom raises money for public school teachers so they can buy desperately-needed supplies for their classrooms. The idea is pretty simple. Here in the richest country in the world, public school teachers spend on average over $1,200 a year of their own money on supplies and resources for their classrooms.
We all know that these folks are underpaid and many simply can't afford this. Adopt-a-Classroom allows donors to donate money to specific classrooms across the US and help bridge that gap. Adopt-A-Classroom raises money for underprivileged classrooms so that all children can have equal access to a quality education.
Here's how to do it:
1. You must be an American Express cardholder. Have your card handy.
2. Go to http://www.membersproject.com/Education/183
3. Click on “Vote for this Project” in the upper left
4. If you have logged on before, it will ask for your Login ID or
Password. If you have not logged on before, it will ask for you
American Express card number and ask you to register.
There is no donation required. Voting ends July 22!
If you would forward this email on, that would be doubly cool.
Thanks very much!
Here is their info, by the way:

Free Conscious Cinema Film Screening: When the Leeves Broke
As the world watched in horror, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television news, director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster, but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort. Lee was moved to document this modern American tragedy, a morality play witnessed by people all around the world. The result is WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE: A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS. The film is structured in four acts, each dealing with a different aspect of the events that preceded and followed Katrina's catastrophic passage through New Orleans.
Following the film on each night will be a hurricane preparedness course.

Hands on Miami is working hard to ensure that our city is prepared and ready should any hurricane come our way. This year, Hands on Miami's goal is for the county to have better coordination, collaboration, and cooperation. We are doing this through various programs aimed at preparing the county on all levels from Pre-Storm impact to the Post-Storm recovery effort.
If you would like to learn more about disaster-related programs, please contact Nathan@handsonmiami.org.
Together we can make a difference.
