How to cast your 3 daily votes for the Pepsi Refresh Grant

We are now in the process of trying to win a $50,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project. Thank you to everyone who has helped us this far along, and thank you to everyone willing to participate through this process of trying to win a grant! Here is an easy guide on how you can cast three votes every day through the end of May. Please vote as often as possible, every day. We will post updates on the progress here and on Facebook.

Your belief in this project is going to be what gets the grant and makes SHAMc happen. We can't do it without your help. Now...go vote! Here's how!

Facebook: ‘LIKE’ our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SafetyHarborArtAndMusicCenter. You’ll notice that to make it easy for you, Safety Harbor Art and Music Center will post a link to vote every day in May. After you click through the Facebook link to the Pepsi site, click ‘vote for this idea.’ If you have not allowed the Facebook application, you will now be asked for permission. If you decline you won’t get to vote. So, accept the terms. You’ll only need to do this once.

Use your mobile phone to text: Just like when you text someone using your cell phone, you can also text Pepsi (Their number does not look like a typical phone number). Text your vote to 73774 with this code in the message: 106350

After you sign in, it’s easy to find us. In the search box type “Safety Harbor.” Our heading is “Build the dynamic community based Safety Harbor Art and Music Center.” Click ‘Vote for this idea.”

A Message from Todd and Kiaralinda. . .

This is the website that will have our project about the Safety Harbor Art and Music Center on it in JANUARY and it is where you can help us win a $50,000 grant by voting online every day during the Month of January. Search "Safety Harbor" and you will find our entry to vote on.

We have a community page that has a lot of information about the project. If you are on Facebook you have to "like" the page to see all the fun stuff. Please send it to your friends so we build a strong community as the contest draws near.

Thanks so much for your help. Anybody with ideas or input on how to get a lot of votes, please contact us. Thanks, Todd and Kiaralinda 727-725-4018

Who ARE these people?

Does your house have a name? Well, Kiaralinda and Todd's does. It's called Whimzey, and as you can see in the pictures, the name is perfect.

These two Whimzey Twins travel throughout the country selling their creations. Their art is sculpture, it's color, it's shape and form, it's texture and emotion. Think of what art means to you and you'll find it in their unique, original pieces. And hey, not only are their homes and creations downright cool, they are too!

Were you in town that one Christmas when Whimzey and every spot in the yard was covered in silver? If not, you might have heard or read about it. Thousands of people came to see the beautiful display, which Kiaralinda and Todd began in order to raise funds for charity.

"All of the Christmas house decorating was a community "labor of love" since we always had a lot of volunteers or "elves" help us create these fundraising installations.

"The first one was called "Silver Lining" and we wrapped everything on our property in tinfoil and the house was wrapped in silver mylar. This [in the picture] is the singer, Melanie who lived in Safety Harbor at the time and came and posed with her "aluminum foil ornament" that she made, as everyone was encouraged to park and walk up and participate and give a donation. This year was for Toys for Tots.

"The other picture is of the millennium holiday house called "Shine On," since it was the last one we thought we would ever do. This one was wrapped in hologram Mylar and space-age type robots, Santa and his spaceship, and CDs hung everywhere. This year the participants got a slip of Mylar to write their millennium thoughts, dreams, or wish on, and then we hung them all over the lawn." ~Kiaralinda

Kiaralinda and Todd are known for such displays of beauty that we all wish we could somehow eat up and swallow...Okay, maybe that's just me. But I admit...

I want this much color in my life too!

It's possible. We can do this! 2011 is the year of the Art and Music Center!
