A reminder to vote

NORWAY — Recently, Responsible Pet Care asked people to vote for it in two very important on-line contests. It still needs votes to help it win $5,000 in each contest. It's easy and only takes a minute or two to vote.

The first contest is the Animal Rescue Site's Favorite Animal Shelter contest which is currently running and ends on March 20. Vote once a day. As of today RPC is #4 in the state and #334 (from 396 last week) overall. It has been slowly rising in position. The more one votes, the better its chances of winning. The prize money is either $1,000 or $5,000. Either amount would help tremendously. It needs as many people as possible to vote daily, so please go to this site and vote: www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces?siteId=3.

The second contest is the Bangor Savings Bank's Community Matters. This is also a voting contest, however it is only a one-time vote. Voting is only open to Maine residents. This contest ends on March 11. Responsible Pet Care is a write-in vote under Western; go to www.bangor.com/Why-Bangor-Savings/Supporting-Our-Communities/Community-Matters-More.aspx.
