Second place still gets $5,000 of in-kind advertising. We have until           1700 EDT today, so get out and vote.

We are in a contest that ends today, 1700 EDT on Monday, 24 March — The Albany Times Union is holding a promotion called "Capital Region Gives" which will award $15,000 in prizes to two local nonprofits: $5,000 in cash plus $5,000 of in-kind advertising in the Times Union to the 1st place winner, and $5,000 of in-kind advertising to the 2nd place finisher. One of the leading contenders right now is our ship, the USS Slater Destroyer Escort Historical Museum, and the lead keeps going back and forth.

> Last year our volunteers put in over 17,000 hours restoring and interpreting the ship. All we're asking you to do is click a link. Vote for the USS Slater Destroyer Escort Museum. If you could share it with the Facebook main wall or your website's home page that would be much appreciated. Please don't miss this chance to financially help this important part of our Naval heritage and history. Please help a retired "Small Boy " and vote!
