Vote for Val to be the Women's Institute Icon
Hello my name is Valerie. I live in Myddfai, a tiny village in The Brecon Beacons National Park, in rural Wales and I need your help!
Sky TV are looking for an 'Icon' for their new learning channel.
I am a member of the Women's Institute who are organising the competition. I entered this competition and now I am in the top ten!! There are only 2 finalists from Wales and if I won it would really help my village.
My company is, Grandma's Stories Ltd and I write fun educational books for children & adults who are learning Welsh. We will have a Welsh language site when resources allow. The Big Plus is that, with the 10,000 first prize, we could launch our new not for profit company 'Learn with Grandma' properly and set up a dedicated website.
Please vote for me and ask your friends to do so too!
This is vital. Myddfai is such a tiny community there is no way I could muster the sort of support someone from a large community could attract. Especially at such short notice.
HOW TO VOTEVoting will be on the Daily Express website starting on Thursday 18 September until Sunday only. Click on the link to vote
So not much time to get those votes in! Please will you forward this to your friends too.

Apparently, the voting in this contest is still open! SSee Valerie's comments here .So, if you haven't already, VOTE FOR VAL!
It's clear that the current, absolutely shameful circus taking place in the run up to the US presidential election is nothing but a cheap smokescreen to obscure the real issues of the day, the issues that really matter, bread and circuses to prevent us from thinking and taking action to VOTE FOR VAL! I did -
LOL...Cool! I love this place (Americymru, that is).

The Americymru Graphics Memorial Button Sub Committee is working on this at the moment. Tshirts and commemorative mugs are in the works too.....lol.
I just voted -- and Val is in the lead!!! Hey, do I get a button that says, "I voted for Val?"
To quote a famous American, "Vote early... and vote often!"
Ahem...its good to see that the true spirit of Celtic democracy is alive and well.
