TO THE EDITOR:

Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau was one of over 5,000 non-profit organizations across the country that participated in ReZoom.com's "A Better World" contest during the month of March. YSB is pleased to announce that we were recently selected the Region 8 winner, and will receive a $5,000 cash prize. The Region 8 competition included organizations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. Your votes and testimonials achieved this remarkable result!

Twenty-one regional winners will now compete for the $100,000 National Grand Prize in voting that begins on July 9! We must have your help to bring us into the winners circle a second time! Visit www.ReZoom.com/abetterworld. Sign up to receive a convenient reminder to vote. Encourage family, friends and neighbors to vote, too.

Get to know YSB better! Visit our Web site, www.ysblakesarea.org to learn more about our great programs and activities for local youth and families. Also visit a special Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau Tribute Page that will soon be active at ReZoom.com/abetterworld. Who can you get on our ReZoom.com competition bandwagon? Put together your own distribution list now so that we don't miss one vote! 

This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone in communities we serve to help YSB "Ensure the Success of Youth!"

Thank you!
