Here's a chance to help your favorite charity. I voted for Save Ellis Island. JPMorgan Chase is donating $5 million dollars to the charities that get the most votes on their Facebook page. I've been to the Ellis Island several times. The museum there is a fantastic look back on the world's greatest period of immigration. When you hear the stories and see the picture of the people who came to America looking for a better life, it is truly amazing what they went through to get here. I found the records of several family members that came through Ellis Island. You can search the records for free at http://www.ellisisland.org. So feel free to vote for your favorite charity and place a vote for Save Ellis Island also. They are currently trying to rehab several buildings on the island to enhance the visitor's experience to the site.
