Thank you all my love for that support...Now, I'm coming to ask you to help Livvy (one of our Super Pal Universe kids) with an opportunity for her other band, AFTERMATH, to gain more exposure by winning the Texas School Jam contest.

Livvy's band AFTERMATH was picked as one of the semi-finalists! The top six bands with the most votes goes to the finals. If they make the finals and win, then they will go to Germany to perform on MTV!!! And Livvy's school music program would get a terrific grant!

So please vote! Registration is simple and quick (your name and your email) and then follow instructions below:

IN CLOSING
Thank you for taking the time to read this email, for supporting kids' music as wonderful as my friend, Livvy's, for remembering those in need this holiday season, and for all the joy you have brought me over the years. I feel incredibly blessed because YOU have brought me such happiness, love, and enduring support. God bless you and yours in 2009 and beyond, and may President Obama's new leadership bring positive thinking and change over all lands, for all people. Let there be peace on earth.

Love,
Sara
