The following is from John Badal, Sacred Wind CEO:

You’ve no doubt seen that Sacred Wind won the Shine a Light contest.   
Thank you so much for your help in getting out the vote.  It is  
gratifying to see that a little company as ours, with our special  
mission, won 1st place above other deserving companies.  We also  
consider it an affirmation of what we and other rural telecomm  
carriers and our vendors do on a day to day basis, with little to no  
fanfare, in support of our rural customers and our local communities.

As the winner in the American Express/NBC Universal Shine a Light  
contest, we will receive a cash award of $50,000 and an additional  
$50,000 in marketing support from American Express.  As promised, we  
intend to channel half of the cash award to our nonprofit’s  
scholarship fund and will use the remainder of the cash award to  
complement the marketing assistance that American Express will offer  
to help achieve our service objectives.

Again, thanks for all your help.

John
