Status: offline 		Thanks to a program sponsored by Chase and LivingSocial called Mission: Small Business℠, your support could translate into a $250,000 grant! But we need at least 250 votes at missionsmallbusiness.com.

Here's how to cast your vote:

1. Click here: http://missionsmallbusiness.com
2. Then click 'Log In & Support'
3. Log in using your Facebook account
4. Search for EBSQ (you can put our name directly in the search box)
5. Click on the blue 'Vote' button next to our business name to show your support for our business.

Easy peasy! Please help us spread the word. We found out about this at the 11th hour and we desperately need those 250 votes by the end of June 30th to be in the running! This could literally change everything.

With deep gratitude,
-Amie, Bill, Melissa, & Amanda

Status: offline 		You can re-search for EBSQ, click "share vote" and then have to click the actual FB button for it to post on your wall. A few of us expected the share vote link to be enough, but apparently not.

Pennsylvania > Greensburg

Our thanks to each and every one of you who has voted and helped promote this all over the interwebs.

Status: offline 		All of the companies who get the required number of votes will then have their applications reviewed by a committee. I do not know what happens after that beyond them selecting 12 businesses for the grant.

Only 28 more votes to go to qualify!

Status: offline 		I'll do it too. Right now it's 1:10 pm Michigan time on the 30th, so hopefully the voting is still open. I'll do it right now.

What happened? Nothing came up for me to choose EBSQ? It just said thanks for your vote. I'll try again and see if I can figure out what happened. I entered it from here, so I'm assuming they just automatically entered it for EBSQ. ??

OK, I think I got it right now. I chose EBSQ and it registered. I also clicked to share it on FB.
