Vote for NLR EAST

Hi everyone! I want to pass something along on behalf of the North Little Rock EAST kids. Mason, one of Kj's kids, called me this morning and asked if I would email all of our facilitators and let you know their Community Farm is in the running for the 'What a Difference a Day Makes' Contest that's hosted by Region's Bank. They are actually the ONLY organization in Arkansas that is in the running! The winner of the contest is determined by the most votes received. You can already see where this is going, right?! The EAST kids at NLRHS want to know if you and your kids can please go to Region's website for this contest (link below) and vote for them. Just click the link and scroll down to find North Little Rock Community Farm – Little Rock, AR. They are 4th from the bottom. 

Everyone can vote once per day on their web browsers using their devices/computers through June 13th.
