June 22, 201214 yr Hello Everyone! I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your support and Vote! Lots to do and lots to see and talk about, so keep up the great atmosphere here!I appologize for not being around much but I've had to take care of my parents but things are starting to roll together smoothly and I am eager to get the wood workshop in full swing and go full steam ahead with providing canes to our wounded Veterans. Life is good and if all goes well, will be really busy!
June 22, 201214 yr Done!Lew or anyone, do you mind if I post this message on my Facebook Page? (Flag Cases By Walls) I have many folks who follow my business page and would also vote for this as well? just let me know and I'll copy and paste the original message you posted above. Thanks,Russ
June 22, 201214 yr Author Can't speak for Meilie but she was OK with me posting it here (I did it before I told her about it). My guess is she will be glad for the votes.Russell K.

June 22, 201214 yr Hello! I appreciate and help you guys/gals can get for my quest! Just keep it legal and cordial!

June 28, 201214 yr 75 now Lew, but still way short. This group can surely do better that this. There are over 800 of us here and we need 250 votes. We should be able to do that today. Login and vote. Create a facebook page if you have to and vote them delete. it. Come on.John MoodySite AdministratorJohn Moody Woodworkshttp://www.johnmoodywoodworks.com
June 28, 201214 yr Hello Everyone! Keep up the EXCELLENT work! I'm almost halfway there to get the minimum of votes! But please, don't stop at 250, as it's a marketing concept as to how I can get my project and business off the ground. If they see that I can get enough notice on this preliminary voting requirements, I will be considered in a better light than if only getting 250 or worst, NOT getting the required minimum. So PLEASE VOTE! It could mean a cane for hundreds, no, thousands of Veterans! OR, none. Your vote counts! http://www.missionsmallbusiness.com, click on LOG IN & SUPPORT, search for BIG STICK CANES of Gaithersburg, MD and VOTE!Thank you!
