Diana Lucey said… Hi:
I'm Diana, a 5fer intern, and am just dropping by to say "Thank you!" for being such a loyal and active 5fer. It is because of members 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…
Diana
Anna McDonnell said… Congratulations, Susie! You did a great job in this last grant cyle and really brought it home for Camp VOICE. I bet Kiera is very proud of you! Anna
5 for Fairness said… Hi Susie and thanks for giving a gift membership. You were supposed to be sent to a form right away where you could tell us the name and email of your giftee. If that didn't happen, will you please let us know at gifts@5forfairness.org?
In any case, the form is right here:
https://5forfairness.wufoo.com/forms/k7x0r9/
When you fill out the form, it automatically sends your lucky giftees an email telling them about your gift, but it's a good idea to send them a personal email too, telling them about 5 for Fairness and their gift membership (and your favorite Team if you are hoping they'll be voting soon!). In your email, you can include this link to the form they need to fill out to collect their membership.

Thanks again!
Julia Galleher said… Hi there! I did donate but it doesn't recognize my e-mail so I can vote...I'll try again later or contact customer service to see what is happening.
Anna McDonnell said… You won't see her here until (unless) she joins our community too. Your gift membership brought her into our voting circle but not everyone who wants to vote wants to join here too (though of course we are happy if people do join us here.) This is for people who want to do more than vote: either advocate and show support for Teams (like you!) or learn more about the Teams in the running and what we are doing. In the past, we required people to both donate and join here but we got a lot of feedback that some people want to just donate and vote, without taking the extra step of joining our community here, so we made that option possible. We take our new 5fers wherever they want to start.
Joining here is free. People only need to donate $5 - or be gifted the donation - if they want to vote.
Does that make sense?

Anna McDonnell said… Hi Susie:
I'm back to let you know that Mary collected her gift membership, is now part of our circle and is all set to vote when voting starts next week. She is, of course, welcome to join here too if she would like. Thanks for being such a generous 5fer!

Anna McDonnell said… Hi Susie:
Yes, you can definitely give gift memberships! We are just figuring out a streamlined way for doing it but if you want to get started, just click the donate button on the home page and make your donations - $5 per gift. Then, when you get your tax acknowledment email, forward it to Gifts@5forFairness.org and add the names and emails of the people you are gifting memberships to. Then, send your lucky giftees to this address and they can sign up:
How does that sound?

Anna McDonnell said… Hi Susie:
I noticed you donated again - thank you! - and am wondering if you were just being enthusiastic or hoping to donate for someone else (maybe Keira?) who doesn't have a Paypal. Let me know which it is, OK? You can email me at anna@5forFairness.org...

Diane Stollenwerk said… I tried to find it the other day but couldn't. This time I was able to so now it's done! :) Thanks for the reminder.
Genny L said… Hey Susie,
Thanks so much for sharing Camp VOICE on Facebook, and being a fabulous advocate for your team! Keep up the great work and please encourage more voters to share your page and spread the word!
To join and vote, all you need to do is donate $5 to our grant account.
