Take a look at this website from American Express:

http://www.membersproject.com

The Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society has submitted our project to American Express for "The Members Project". With the ratings of cardmembers AMEX will select the 50 best projects and then open them to voting. Between now and June 17th we need everyone who has an American Express card (or any of the cards in the AMEX "family") to visit the site, register, and then rank us - hopefully with 5 out of 5 stars. Once you go to the site and register, use the search function and type in RAILROAD DINING CAR, and go to our description. Then rank us and hit submit.

Ultimately, the number one project gets $5 million. While it would be nice, the ELDCPS would be really happy to make the top 50 with the publicity it would bring us. If you have an American Express card, please take the time to register and vote.

Thank you if you can help.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to register and rank us. As of today, we are ranked 111th out of 4300 project! We have until the end of Saturday to increase the number of people voting (5 out of 5 stars please!) to get us into the top 50 to qualify for the next round. If you have an AMEX card, please go to the site, register, rank us and submit. They tell me positive comments left for us help to.

As of this morning we have gotten up to a rank of 63! We have until Saturday night to break into the top 50. We are gaining rank because a lot of the projects ahead of us are no longer getting new votes. If you have an AMEX card, please follow the link above, register and rank us.

Thanks to everyone who has ranked us so far!
