Dear Rians,

I really hope you all can help me vote for a very important cause. One of my friends, Katie is not just an intelligent thinker, but a very active and motivated doer. Here's some information she sent me:
---
I was recently selected to be this year's trip leader to take 8 first year medical students Ethiopia to take part in a 3-4 week service project! There we will bring health services and medical supplies to the under reached populations of rural Ethiopia. I'll be sure to let you know more about the project in the future (let me know if you want a support letter!) but in the meantime, we are currently in a contest to win $10,000! All that it requires is that you go to ideablob.com and register, and vote for our project "Ethiopia Outreach." Whichever project gets the most number of votes moves onto the finals! It's easy, it literally takes 2 minutes of your time. We're trying to get as many votes as possible by 11:59PM on Saturday, November 14.So be a part of our trip! Vote and tell your friends/coworkers/etc! Thanks and hope to catch up some more with you soon!

Quick Details:

(1) Go to ideablob.com
(2) Register (click on upper right)
(3) Confirm registration via link in email (they will not spam your mailbox)
(4) In the search box (upper right) type in "Ethiopia Outreach"
(5) VOTE! (click green button on right of screen)

In the most recent years, Katie has traveled to Uganda to help the situation over there. After her trips, she held a heart-moving, all-day event to share her personal experience, educate others about the situation, and gain support for the cause. Just as she did for her last project, I know Katie will personally touch and change the lives of the underprivileged while motivating others who have the ability to help. Please vote for Katie's project so she can carry out her project to the fullest.

Thanks ^-^
