Best,

When did that profile pic go up? Love it. When you posted today, you posted as a "status" update which means it will soon disappear from the home page in the activity stream.To give it more permanence (and to make it something I can link to in the newsletter) go to the Man Up Team page and click the Start a Discussion link and put it up there. Thanks. Anna

If you are inspired by what you see we welcome your support and would love it if you would become a member of our team!
Thanks!

Hey, Jimmie! So glad you are here. Voting ends Monday and Man Up is definitely in the hunt. A great thing to do would be to start a discussion on the Man Up Team page talking about how and why you started it. Doesn't need to be any kind of treatise. Short is always better on the internet! But personal is great. There are two steps. You want to JOIN the Man Up Team in order to post there and VOTE at the Polling Place. Let me know if you have any questions. You can keep track of the voting on the Polling Place. Glad you're here! Anna
