Hi everybody!
My company, Mohop, is nominated for a grant for $10,000. If I win, I will use the grant for a down payment on a new CNC machine. The catch is, it’s a ‘people’s choice’ award, which means I need YOUR VOTE by November 20th to win! http://www.idealbite.com/bigawards/voting/

I’m asking you to vote for me because, as cheesy as this sounds, it will really help make my dreams come true. I started Mohop in 2005 because I always wanted to have my own business, and I thought it would be fun to make shoes. I really love what I do, and things are going great… but now I need an infusion of cash to grow further.

So far, I've been making most of my shoes on a bandsaw, and I've had some of my shoe styles CNC'd by another shop. However, I need my own CNC to make production more cost effective. And who doesn't want their own CNC machine, right?

For more information about my business, please visit my site http://www.mohop.com/ Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Please forward this to your friends, family and coworkers, post this on your social networking sites/message boards, on your blog, or whatever you feel comfortable doing. Any help you can provide in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated! You can help me achieve my goal of cultivating an environmentally and socially conscious footwear factory here in Chicago!!!

Thanks so much!!!

(I know I haven't made many posts here in the past, but I'll be participating a lot when I get my new machine)
