....please dont. Now is the time to vote!!! We knew how hard this was going to be when we entered the contest a few weeks ago and we greatly appreciate the efforts of all of you who have voted and/or persuaded others to vote. The simple fact is though that we need to double our vote fast if we are to go back up in the rankings and have a chance of finishing in the top 200.
The Left Coast Eisteddfod is raising money to fly Welsh artists, musicians and authors to Portland for this years event in October. To this end we have entered the Chase Community Giving competition on Facebook. If we come in the top 200 when the final vote is tallied we will win $20,000. This will enable us to significantly expand our program of events. We pledge that every cent will be used for the above mentioned purpose and will contribute to gaining extra exposure for Welsh artists in the US.

Many people have rallied around to help with this and in our opinion it is no longer about how many artists we can fly across the pond. It is about whether or not the Welsh and Celtic online communities can support their own and assert themselves on a major platform and in a major contest. We pledge to support any Welsh or Celtic charity which decides to take this on next year. All we ask in return is that you support us now so that we can set a precedent of winning rather than being good 'also rans' .WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN STILL WIN.....PLEASE ACT NOW.
HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
1. If you are not on Facebook....join and vote here:- http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charities/263243673-meriwether-lewis-memorial-eisteddfod-foundation
2. If you are on Facebook VOTE NOW!
3. Persuade a friend to vote.
4. Post on group walls and ask group admins of Welsh/Celtic groups to message their members to ask for their support.
5. Put our voting link banner on your website or blogpost. You can cut and paste it from the voting page:-
http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charities/263243673-meriwether-lewis-memorial-eisteddfod-foundation
6. Consider getting together with a friend ( if both of you have already voted ) and exchanging Gift Votes. This will enable both of you to vote for us twice. See this blogpost - http://americymru.ning.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-use-gift-votes-on-chase
