What It’s All About~Election Day
November 3, 2009 by C Roche
Every four years, on Election Day, (Tuesday after the first Monday in November), registered *voters in the United States cast their votes for presidential electors. Collectively, these electors form the Electoral College. The number of electors per state is equal to the number in its Congressional delegation. Thus, each state has at least three electors. Kansas has six electors and Missouri has eleven. These electors meet on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December to elect the President and Vice-President.
In 1845, Congress established Election Day in response to abuses caused by the previous system of electing the President and Vice-President. Under the old system, states could appoint electors at any time within 34 days prior to the convening of electors in December

Penny Harvest
November 1, 2009 by C Roche
Collect pennies for Penny Harvest. You saw what the results were last year as we were able to donate to the Grace Foundation and Project Hospitality. Let’s do it again. Harvest those pennies….
”Each year in New York City, 2 million dollars’ worth of pennies are wasted. People dump them into jars….”[6] Others of them “disappear into drawers, behind car seats, into trash heaps and into penny oblivion.”[7] The Penny Harvest program ventures to capitalize on these annually discarded pennies.”
