I'm Christa, a 5fer intern, and am just dropping by to say "Thank you!" for being such a loyal 5fer. It is because of 5fers like you that we have been able to give away seven (yes, seven!) $5000 grants to organizations working to make the world fair for girls and women - and we're only a few hundred dollars away from our eighth! We are so appreciative of the way you have put up with all our many growing pains and hope you keep on believing in our circle and the good we can do. Thanks again…Christa

Hey Erin:
We are trying, with each grant cycle, to make things simpler for new members here on 5 for Fairness, but we still have work to do! It might be a good idea to check with your members who joined us here on the community site to make sure they donated and voted (and actually check with everyone you sent to us!). If they are not sure, they probably haven't! Here are really simple (I hope, tell me if they are not) directions that you can give them.If they donated at Paypal, they will have received a receipt from Paypal via email. If they didn't, they probably didn't donate.
If they donate, we add them to our donor database and they get two emails from us: one is a welcome, the other a tax receipt. Once they vote, they get an email thanking them for voting. If they don't have any of these, they probably haven't donated or voted.
BUT sometimes emails go awry, so you can always email me or leave a comment on my page with their email addresses and I can check to see if they are in our voter database.
We are, as I suspect you guys are, a work in progress and our best hope is to use the mistakes of each grant round to make the next one a more fun, easy and meaningful experience for all our 5fers. Thanks for your patience and hard work.

Hi Erin:
We're getting ready to vote and I just wanted to drop by and say I think you have done an amazing job as Team leader so far. I am sure, no matter what happens with the voting, that Breaking Ground has found new supporters and fans over the last two weeks. I know you've found one in me!You might want to let your supporters know about our new Gift Membership option which is an easy way for people to donate for friends and family (or anyone who can't deal with Paypal). The process is simple and outlined right here:A note of caution though: Gift memberships have to be processed by hand, and it can take more time for people to come and collect their gift, so though we'll try our best to process any Gift memberships we get on the last day of voting in time for people to vote, we can NOT guarantee any Gift memberships will be completely processed after 6PM PST on Tuesday 2/21. So tell people to get them in early!If you have any questions about how voting week works, please let me know. Meanwhile, we'll be touting your Team on Twitter and here on 5 for Fairness!Good luck and thanks for the great work you are doing to make the world a fair place for girls!Anna
