Every New Year it is a long held tradition to make some changes, whether it’s losing some weight or quitting a bad habit. Our New Year Resolution for 2011 is to help local US communities in addition to communities worldwide.  We hope to develop a few initiatives to support this New Year resolution; today we will make a small start.  As our Facebook Fan community count closes in on 1000, we have decided how to celebrate this milestone. When we reach 1000 fans we will donate $250 to one of our fans’ favorite causes. It could be a mission trip, a school fundraiser, a national charity or almost any other non-profit you can think of.

So nominate your favorite — nomination information is below.  As soon as we reach 1000 fans,  we will ask you which of the nominated charities should receive the $250. You may want to get your friends hyped up and ready to vote …
