<description><![CDATA[Hi All,
I've got a favor to ask. I was born and raised in the Norristown area. Lived and worked in Philly, Wynnewood, and Conshohocken.   I now live in East Norriton.   In other words, I'm a real local-yokel!
I've entered a nation-wide competition for small business owners. I made it through Round 1 - and I'm in dire need of a LOT of votes to win some big money, which would help me expand my business.
Please consider voting for my video and spread the word to your family/friends/network/contacts, too. I've got my work cut out for me - the top contestant currently has over 500 votes to my 88 votes. Forty percent of the score is based on votes. Judges will decide on 60 percent of the score.
Step-by-step instructions are listed with bullet points at the bottom of this message. If anyone has trouble voting (the site is not that easy to navigate), they can email me at kathysjustdesserts AT yahoo DOT com and tell me to vote FOR you, and I'll handle it for you, which really simplifies things. The Intuit folks KNOW that it's difficult to cast votes, so they've said that's okay.
The BackStory - Thanks to all who voted for my story in Round 1 of the Intuit contest, I was one of the 50 (out of 2,000) who made it to Round 2, and I've already won $5,000 and a video camera. I’ve created a video, which is now posted and makes me eligible to win for Round 2 (the big bucks!) if I get enough votes.
Each email address (work, home, etc.) can register for a vote. Please vote from all of your email addresses and forward this request to any friends/family/co-workers who might also be willing to vote for my video. Voting ends on May 31. The winners will be announced on June 4.
The top prize of $25,000 would go a long way to helping me grow my business, by franchising my kids' culinary programs. I’m excited to be part of this, and I thank you all so much in advance for your efforts on my behalf.

Thanks again!
