Midnight eastern standard time, January 31 2009

Dear Maria Daines, Paul Killington, and all that have participated in this peaceful initiative to aid in saving lives through the music of  Maria Daines and Paul Killington and their next animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.

We want to extend our deep gratitude to each and every one of you that participated through leaving comments and sharing this initiative with your communities.

Our goal at the team of Keep The Green Alive was to bring people together in a positive common cause with the hope that 1,000 different people would leave 1,000 comments so we could donate the full $1,000.00 Cdn. Funds to Maria and Paul on your behalf toward the first 500 pressings of their CD, Shelter Me.

At this time, midnight eastern standard time, January 31 2009, there are 409 individuals that have shown the power of community through standing up and being counted in for the long haul. The demonstration of this community has humbled us with your amazing participation and comments. Whether it was a word or two, a sentence, or even a paragraph written here, the feeling of hope and encouragement reined supreme and still does!

The theme of hope is what we are all striving towards in wanting to have a better future for us all, humans, animals, sea life and plant life alike. Some comments here specifically resonate with a hope that Maria and Paul will reach their goal in this worthy cause.

In my discussions with Greg Allen about the awarding of the donations in kind, we are happy to be able to give Maria and Paul $409.00 Canadian funds toward their CD. However, we also decided, that due to the amazing show of community support here, we will be awarding the full $1,000.00 Canadian funds to Maria and Paul with honour and pleasure.

On behalf of Paul Richmond, Greg Allen, the team of Keep The Green Alive, and, the 409 participants in creating the gift of giving through leaving comments on the Peace Wins The Election video, we are very happy to be able to give Maria Daines and Paul Killington $1,000.00 Canadian funds to put towards the pressing and release of the first 500 copies of your animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.

Thank you all for your absolutely amazing support and community spirit. We remain your friends, Paul D. Richmond, Greg Allen and the team of, Keep The Green Alive !!!!

P.S. If you have ever wondered whom the team of Keep The Green Alive is, well, it’s all of us…peace…
