    I've never made this kind of pitch before, but I have to put in a plug for Melissa Bahleda who is a finalist for a vote online award given by Toyota and Glamour magazine. I met Melissa Bahleda last fall at the Beastie Bazar, which is a big animal rights fundraiser/shindig in Virginia horse country, where she and my wife both volunteered as helpers. Some of the volunteers (I was also drafted while I was there) stayed for a thank you dinner after the festival, and we ended up spending the evening hanging out with Melissa. She was one of the post-Katrina animal rescue heroes. She swapped stories with my wife about New Orleans and the gulf coast after the hurricane. I would not have lasted half a day. These people spent weeks there. I'd love to see her win in her category. You do have to give e-mail and physical addresses to vote, so you'll undoubtedly end up on some mailing list. Thanks for tolerating my pitch.

    If only they got Ferraris instead of Toyotas as their prizes. . .

    SHE WON!!!

    I revived this thread just to let everyone who voted know that Melissa won her category in the Glamour contest. She gets a new Toyota and you'll see her on the cover of Glamour (December issue, I think).
    Thanks again.
