For those of you who tried to "like" our schools entry on facebook on the Corona 
Tools page and found it frustrating and confusing I am very sorry!  I didn't get 
any instructions from Corona and when I went to their page it looked obvious.  
It is not!  

In order to see our schools' entry you first have to "like" Corona Tools.  If 
you are willing to do that, then you will see our schools' post if you scroll 
down the page (looks like they do regular tool giveaways on the site so if you 
are a gardener it's not such a bad deal to "like" them) and THEN you can comment 
or "like" us.  I'm sorry it's such a pain in the butt and really sorry I sent 
out a bunch of email before I understood that it was more complicated than it 
appeared.  

If you're up for "liking" Corona Tools then please vote for AHS!  There is only 
one other organization in the running.  They have about 50 votes right now. We 
are closer to 25.  Voting ends 12/1.  We could use your support!
Thanks,
Joan

hands-on experience"

very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and

I sent an email about this earlier before I understood the process.  Now I have 
details that make sense!
Please vote for Arcadia High school by liking the entry on the Corona Tools 
page.  This will help us get our tool request supported.  Only one winner each 
round and right now there are only two organizations who applied. 

If you find the Corona Tools page on facebook they have a listing for the high 
school I teach at - Arcadia High school.  If you "like" that entry or write a 
comment under it (do both!) that counts as a vote.
Currently only one other organization has applied for the tool grant this run.  
Voting ends on 12/1.  We are currently about 50 votes behind.  Please help out!  
Our Food Forest is really an amazing place and it does magic  turning kids on to 
composting and gardening.  Please take a few minutes to "like" our entry and 
help turn more kids on to gardening!  No one likes having crappy tools and this 
is one way to get some good quality tools that will work for years.

P.S. Spread the word!  Every "like" counts!
