Hello Everyone!


Please take a minute to read and then vote...!

I have been with Pampered Chef since 1996. I started my Pampered Chef business to help send my son to Manhattan School of Music where he received his Bachelor's Degree in Classical Guitar, and then on to The Julliard School for his Master's. AND, NOW HE'S IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND (Who knew?)

His band, The Velocet recently released their first CD after 2 long years of work. They had their release party about a month ago in NY (see their website below for more information, BUT NOW....


Please.... take a second Vote for my son's, Kris' band, The Velocet... thanks! I hate to bother you all, but what better way to get a little help from my friends. After you vote, I'd appreciate it if you would send this to any friends of yours - I'd really appreciate it!!!

All you have to do is click the site below, find where it says, vote, and then click The Velocet once. This just went out this morning 8/2/07, and they were ahead, but now there is another band who must have a large e-mail list. So, I'm appealing to all of my friends to keep this going.

I really appreciate this y'all!

**** Please DO NOT VOTE 2x from one e-mail OR THEY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

When I voted, it didn't ask for an email address. Do you mean not to vote from the same computer more than once?
 
Just went, I couldn't find where to vote.
 
There's a little teeny word "vote" just under the box with the bands listed.
 
I voted but it just had me click the band I was choosing. I did it only once. Never asked me my email.
