Well, we made it!! we received just over the required number of votes to qualify us for the final consideration for this grant.
Now, our lovely heartfelt application will go before a panel of business and marketing experts, along with all the other applications to complete the required votes. The choices will be made by September.
So it looks like a "long hot wondering about the grant" summer at the salon. As intensely as I went after acquiring the votes, I will also be patient in the wait, and know that God's infinite wisdom will give us what we desire, in His time. But it certainly will be welcome if you should decide to hope, pray, for our expansion. Money is not the only obstacle. It is not even the biggest one. It is the one that would allow me to provide the very best of everything to you, my staff and clients. What a blessing it would be to go forward without having to budget, and search high and low for more affordable options. Just once to ask, what is the very BEST.... that's what I want!
Thank you from the heart to all those who put up with my constant "reminders" (begging?) for votes. We made it!! When I started out, I thought it would be impossible, It turned out to be quite manageable, and taught me WORLDS of stuff about Facebook, and how to market the salon there.
So for now, keep the thoughts and prayers coming our way, I wont be badgering anyone on Facebook for votes any more. Thank you all again...
