[Marketing] google grants

[David Farning]

These all look great.  Plenty good for examples on the application.
I'll fill out the application using Christian and Sean as the contact
people.

As I understand it, we will qualify for up to $40,000 dollars of
advertising a month....

Christian, managing $480,000 add campaign for global non-profit might
look mighty nice on your resume:)
