I've seen some discussion here about other rescues in the contest badmouthing YHR. I hope we all continue to take the high road and don't sink to their level. As the competition nears its end, I don't want it to degenerate into name-calling. It gives all rescues a bad name. If we see anything that seems unfair, perhaps it's best to notify a YHR representative and let them determine the appropriate response. I'm delighted to see that's exactly how our group has behaved so far.

To make it easier to turn the other cheek if the voting gets close, I will make up any difference between the prize we win (or don't win) and the $500 top prize. In other words, if we stay in first, I donate nothing. If we slip to second, I donate $250 ...

I'm not rolling in money, so I REALLY hope we continue to keep our lead, but I think it's more important that we portray YHR as the classy organization it is.

Now go VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
