Hey Everyone!

MSNBC is asking everyone to VOTE on their favorite
elevator pitch from 2006!

Its VERY CLEAR that two of the companies have
been sending people to the website to vote for
THEIR elevator pitch!

SO, we thought we'd ask you to help our friend!

Go Here

THEN at the bottom of the video when it asks who WHO you think was the best -- pick
"Calendar Girl" aka Morgan! That is, if you really think it was good ;)

It would REALLY mean SO MUCH TO HER!

Thanks!!

Dear YAVA,
We apologize for changing the website format so suddenly. We experienced some major technical issues but are working around the clock to restore all the old functionality.On the upside, this gives us a chance to re-examine the way our old website was created, and make YAVA 2.0 the most user friendly website possible! In the mean time, please bear with us.

All YAVA events are happening as planned. Any questions? Please contact Deb.
Any other questions should be directed to either Rohit or Sam.
