<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>A few months ago, Thomas Heuser from Zegg reached out about
including GEN EU in a kind of charity fundraiser an organisation
he works with is doing. All we had to do was write a brief
description of our work and people can vote for us to receive some
end-of-year funding from the organisation. If I understand right,
I think we receive some donation from even just being on the list,
but I will clarify... Anyway, please see his instructions for
below on how to vote, and the first step/request is...vote for us!
And please, share with your friends, networks, ecovillages, on
linkedin... However you can! <b>We have until 15 November.</b><br>
</p>
<p>I will also create a social media post about it, connect with
Caro about sharing the voting with our members, add it to our
newsletter and so on...let's see if we can get a nice little
end-of-year treat :)</p>
<p>Hugs,</p>
<p>Fran</p>

Dear Fran,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the voting has started. Here are the steps:</div>
<div>*****</div>
<div>You go to <a href="https://www.wbs-gruppe.de/"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.wbs-gruppe.de/</a></div>
<div>There you click the button „zum voting“</div>
<div>Another button „zum voting“ to be clicked</div>
<div>Goto "Verein finden“ and key in „Global“, GEN Europe will
appear below</div>
<div>Click the „Info & Abstimmen“ button</div>
<div>tag „Hiermit bestätige ich die Teilnahmebedingungen.“ to
confirm the regulations of the voting</div>
<div>key in your email adress and click „abstimmen“</div>
<div>you will receive and email to confirm your vote, click on it
and your vote counts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Important note: since I, Thomas Heuser, work for the company
I can asure you the your data is not collected for other reasons
then the voting. It will only be used to collect the vote and to
make sure there is no fraud.</div>
<div>*****</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>unfortunately there was little space to write down the
discribtion of GEN Europe. So sorry, I had to shorten a lot. And
was in a hurry to do so to get in the voting on time (this year
after 24 yours we closed the registration process).</div>
<div><br>
<div>The voting ends 15th at noon. So it is only a short time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As well I received an email with more possibilities:</div>
<div>*****</div>
<div>
<div>Dear submitter, dear submitter,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You may have already noticed that voting has started
today. </div>
<div>To ensure that your club receives as many votes as
possible, you can now really get the ball rolling. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Catching votes - here's how: </div>
<div>Whether it's a story or a post: share all posts with the
hashtag #WBSherzensprojekte via your personal Facebook
and/or Instagram account. </div>
<div>Tell us why your heart beats for this club. There are no
limits to your creativity. We especially appreciate videos! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Important: Please mention us in your posts so that we can
share them with our community. </div>
<div>- Mention us on Facebook: @wbsgruppe →
facebook.com/wbsgruppe </div>
<div>- Mention on Instagram: @wbsgruppe →
instagram.com/wbsgruppe </div>
<div> </div>
<div>You are not on Facebook & Co. </div>
<div>Then ask your friends and family for support. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>For a fair vote: </div>
<div>Each person can only vote once. Please pass this rule
on. </div>
<div>We also keep an eye on compliance with this rule. 😊</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best regards</div>

Dear Fran,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just submitted GEN Europe to the event.
Unfortunately I had to shorten the text, because it
was only up to 200 letters allowed. Well, what the
hack, we are in ;-) I will come back to you when the
voting starts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Celebration, at least 1.500 € donation for GEN
Europe. Pretty sure it will be 5.000 in the end and
hopefully… I am glad that I can support GEN Europe
in that way!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have a beautiful day</div>

<p>Hi Thomas! Here is a text, but you can
adapt it to fit with what works best for
the audience :)<br>
</p>
<p>GEN Europe is the European network for
ecovillages and sustainable communities.
We empower, connect and inspire
communities and individuals to live well
together within planetary boundaries.
Since 1995 we've opened the doors of
ecovillages to people from all across the
world; helped thousands of young people
have life-changing experiences of
sustainable living; showcased regenerative
community lifestyles at the UN and
European level, and offered support to
hundreds of groups seeking to create
lifestyles that are better for people and
planet. We run events, trainings, and
gatherings and advocate for sustainabl
lifestyles for all.<br>
