Colgate-Palmolive is sponsoring a contest to provide a fun center to a children's hospital; this could really help to make a child's hospital stay a lot more bearable. From the Colgate site:



Fun Centers are mobile units that provide endless entertainment and help turn worry into laughter and weariness into delight! Fun Centers feature a flat screen monitor, DVD player and a Nintendo® Wii. The Centers roll right up to a child’s bedside to provide hours of game play and movie watching.



Click the link, scroll down and click on Charlotte, and vote for CMC! You can vote once per day until the end of February.



Colgate Cares - Community Service Projects to enhance quality of life.


We are battling with Houston. Yesterday we were tied with them at 34% each, today they had 34 and we had 30. The race is close now at 32 each. They have also added some newer (bigger) cities, so vote every day until 2/29!

I was worried it was going to be one of those surveys and thankfully it wasnt.

You know do you own a home, car, boat, russian men in speedos, do you do the shopping, if so how much do you spend etc.

You would think they would pay someone to decide whiich site is best but hey I voted.
I wonder how often they update the vote tallies. Giood luck Charlotte.

The tallies are real time, or pretty close to it. Houston was winning by 34-30% just a couple of hours ago. I guess they do it this way so one city also gets bragging rights.

We are still just slightly ahead of Houston.

I don't see how it would violate the TOS. It's definitely not advertising.

Actually, Detroit has some good hospitals. Henry Ford Hospital is one of the best.
