BETTY BELTS is a finalist in the INTUIT Small Business United Contest

Dear Friends and Family,

I have some fabulous news!

My little company Betty Belts won from among over 1900 entries as a
finalist in the INTUIT Small Business United Contest and so far won 5K
for the business!

Thank you to those of you who voted for my story, each of you made a
difference!

I am currently working with David on the video I need to submit to
enter among 50 finalists to win a 25K grant or one of four 10K
grants. David blows me away with his talent and this is going to be a
lot of fun to watch.

The video will be posted on the 18th and the voting begins. I will be
sending out another note then asking all of you to please come vote
for my video. You'll each get three votes, one in each category
INSPIRING USEFUL and FUNNY and I would love it if you see fit to give
my video all three. Yes, you will need to give Intuit your address and
create a username/password, but I promise, it is very brief (and so
worth it to help me win 25K!)


If anyone has their own sources for reaching out to a broader network
to help get votes for one of our own to win, I would be thrilled. I
really need this grant to create a broader reach (via trade shows and
events I haven't been able to afford) and continue to make a
difference in many people's lives.
