Earlier this week, Washington National Cathedral shared the news that they have been selected to take part in the 2013 "Partners in Preservation" program administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a competition between 25 historic sites in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for historic preservation grants. The Cathedral seeks a top grant of $100,000 to enable work that will lead to the removal of the black debris netting in the nave.

I encourage you to watch the short video on the project featuring Mason Foreman Joe Alonso, and share it with your friends, family, and contacts. Register and vote now on the official Partners in Preservation voting site!

Each person can register on the site via Facebook or email address to cast a vote for the Cathedral once per day, every day, from April 24 to May 10. Extra points will be awarded for registered voters who check in at the Cathedral on Foursquare or spread the word with hashtag #wncathedral on Twitter and Instagram. This amazing opportunity enables the whole Close community to join with the public to bring about visible and significant restoration to the National Cathedral's earthquake damage.

Let's all help support the Cathedral!
