joanmcq Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi all, I'm applying for a grant through this process, and need to get 250 votes to qualify for the next round. Anyways, I've got only 4 hours left and need less than 50. Didn't have a lot of time in the last few weeks to figure out how to work social media to get my posts seen. So anyways, help a fellow tax geek out please! https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com/business/detail/11505 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I cast a vote for you! I also posted on my FB page asking my friends to help out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnH Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sorry. I just now logged on to the Forum and went to vote, then realized you posted that last night, so time has expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Did you make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 No, she had only 236 votes of the 250 required for further consideration. Joan, I wish you'd asked us sooner. I hit my FB friends up a couple of times pushing for votes, and those that saw it did vote, but on a Friday night in the few hours that remained there were many more that weren't on to even see the request. I know more would have voted at my asking if I'd been able to share your need earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ya know, the voting period was 9/17-10/17. Not the best time for me to be thinking creatively. I literally didn't get the light bulb going off until yesterday. I'm going to try again next year, and I'll be better prepared. Last night I was watching as friends logged onto Facebook & messaged all of them. Got over 100 votes in a day! But I noticed not a lot of people were on here last night :( 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged in here too late to vote or help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Me too, Joan. I have been off the board for a couple of days catching up on my personal life and just now saw your post. Sorry I did not get a chance to vote for you. Remind us earlier next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I voted, but as others said didn't have time to spread the word. As we say about the Cubs, "Wait'll next year!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah, I wouldn't have been on the computer on a Friday night following tax Armageddon day if not for that grant. At 9pm, when voting closed, I went on a Game of Thrones binge. Now it's scan & shred time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
