Please visit this site and cast a vote to give a grant to preserve this Viking ship in Chicago!! There is a contest going on and right now they want to give this money to some Chinese center! Let's get in there and vote for the Viking ship...it only takes a moment! Thanks VNNers!!
This Viking ship is an important cultural icon. This contest is the LAST CHANCE for Viking. Right now it is in third place to receive a grant.
Do you know what's in first place? The Pui Tak Center, located in Chicago's Chinatown, which is a church-based community center that offers social services to new Chinese immigrants.
Vote today and every day between now and October 10th (Yes, that's okay).
Forward this on to everyone you know.
You can bet the Chinese in the Chicago area are very organized on this. We have to mobilize to win.
Who do you want to get the $55 grand? The Viking Ship? Or The Pui Tak Center???

"Henceforth no Jew, no matter under what name, will be allowed to remain here without my written permission. I know of no other troublesome pest within the state than this race, which impoverished the people by their fraud, usury and money-lending and commits all deeds which an honorable man despises. Subsequently they have to be removed and excluded from here as much as possible."
MARIA THERESA, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia (1771 - 1789)
