What I am trying to do in this thread is get people's nominations together so I can set up a pole that everyone can vote on to decide this year's 3rd charity. I want this to be ready in time for Knetter and I to get letters sent to teams before we head to Sebring so we can have maximum exposure of what we are doing, in order to - hopefully - get more contributions from the teams that attend both LM and the ALMS.
Although without a cut off date set, Doris has already pointed out that your proposal is pretty much what's about to happen. And because she wants to get things done before leaving for Sebring I think the poll will come anytime soon. Perhaps a good idea for next year: start the nominations thread with a set date for the nominations to end and the poll to begin
