Laura from Maeva Design sent us an email today to let us know about a new program honoring and supporting those who serve. Maeva is taking cloth from military uniforms and fatigues and turning it into handbags for women. 10% of all profits from the sales will be donated to military organizations. We have to admit -they are some cool bags! Check out the different styles offered on their website at Maeva Design.
The idea was inspired by an Army Major named Dan Carroll who originally conceived the idea to create gifts for his mother and sister. If you’re looking for a nice gift for the lady in your life, why not help a good cause?
Overseas Vote Foundation (OVF) provides a central, nonpartisan resource to register to vote and request an absentee ballot from overseas. With the generous financial support from The Pew Charitable Trusts, OVF has developed user-friendly, online voter tools applicable to voters from every state – www.overseasvotefoundation.org:
- An online overseas voter registration tool that prompts the voter for information necessary to register to vote in accordance with each state’s unique regulations. Error-checks occur during the process to ensure that the voter does not forget any required information. The program then generates an official form in PDF format and provides the voter with the correct county election office address for mailing.
- A Voter Help Desk where voter questions are answered via email within 24 hours
- An Election Official Directory with contact information for the 7000+ election offices in the United States and its territories.
- A hot topics list of relevant overseas voter news
- Links to nonpartisan organizations that offer candidate information for all states
