Deception has offered for myself to find a needy recipient of his contest prize from last week, a $20 gift card to Ichibar. Of course I know many needy individuals and organizations that could use it, but I don’t want the challenge of picking only one to give.
So, here’s what we’ll do. Starting right now, until Thursday, July 19th at 9:00am, you guys will vote on who / what gets the prize.
In THIS THREAD, create a comment and put a single persons name, or an organization, business, non profit, whatever. No discussion about it in the same comment, just a single line of “Joe Blow” or “Great Organization”.
You, and everyone else, go through the thread and click the “Like” button on other entries you think should get the card. You’re voting on which one will win the card, the entrant at the end of our contest deadline with the most likes we will contact and offer the card to.
If you’d like to use the comments to discuss entries, you can do so as well, but they will not be counted as entries themselves. So if you want to nominate someone and discuss it, put a comment with that just that name, then make another comment with any discussion regarding it.
Dislikes will not count, only likes.

I am a teacher and would love to use this to take a new teacher out to lunch on a workday to welcome them to Vance county.
Teachertalk,
My congratulations may be premature I think you have won lunch with the new teacher. Hopefully your time will be rewarded with a long term working relationship and the school will gain a great teacher.
Yep, Congrats teachertalk looks like you and a lucky new teacher will be the recipient of the $20 gift card to Ichibar! Now we’re going to hold you to this taking the teacher out to lunch deal, not sure how, but we’ll expect a report back how’s that? I’ll send instructions to your email on how to retrieve.
Thanks and enjoy!
Thanks guys! We have quite a few new teachers this year and it is so important to make them feel welcome…especially if we want them to stay! I am excited to have the opportunity to do this! :-)
Nice of a fellow co-worker in the “field” to receive the $20 Ichibar gift card. I have 10 weeks off every summer as well as a week during Easter..couple days for Thanksgiving…about 2 weeks @ Christmas as well……Way to go fellow educator!!!!!!!
P.S. Thanks Phil..that was a very unbiased(and cool) way to give the gift card away. Hope the ‘new’ teacher is met with open arms b/c the VCS System is not the easiest school system to work for considering the lack of parental support(unless someone feels as if you’ve ‘wronged’ lil’ johnnie for asking him to pull his pants up). In this instance you will have aunts,uncles,cousins, and GOD knows who else at the school demanding a meeting!! LOL!!! Only N Hunnerson!!!
