**UPDATE-Viking Ship Down! We would like to thank everyone that aided in the Viking Ship vote! Thanks! We saw the Asatru community and, it's allies, pull together and bring the ship from third to second place. However, this does not save the ship and the ship will be all but a piece of history gone now. The Chinese won. END UPDATE**

The following is a fwd from the Bear Claw by the AFA. PLEASE go vote.


Dear Subscriber,

In the most recent AFA Update, I reported how you can vote to have theViking, Chicago's endangered Viking ship, receive a $55,000 grant.This Viking ship is an important cultural icon. The AFA actuallypublished an article on it in The Runestone, back in the 1980's! Andit still hasn't gotten any aid.

This contest is the LAST CHANCE forViking.Right now it is in third place to receive a grant.Do you know what's in first place? A plan to give aid to Chineseimmigrants.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? Or Chinese immigrants?Go to http://www.partnersinpreservation.com/ and vote!

Hail the Gods!
Hail the AFA!
