Seats for Switzerland is a contest run by Swiss Airlines for uniting separated loved ones. To win, you must tell a convincing story and be chosen by a combination of voter participation and judges' decision. You also have to be a resident of Switzerland, or you can bet we'd have written our own stories. Instead, we're publicizing those of the people we want to be reunited with. Here's is the link to Joseph's story, where you can cast your vote for him. (It's easy; you only need to provide your name, an e-mail address, and agree to some non-threatening "terms and conditions.")
Y'all know I generally don't like the "vote for me in this contest" idea—but this is for our grandkids!
I'll publish links for the rest of the family when they're up, so you can vote for them, too. :) Thank you, thank you.
I haven't looked at the voting yet, but aren't you diluting the votes by putting more than one story up for us to choose from?
As far as I know, it's one of those "vote early, vote often" kinds of things. I haven't actually tried to use the same e-mail address twice, let alone stuff the ballot box, but I was able to vote for both stories. And I'm voting for Vivienne's as soon as we get the glitches worked out.
