Yesterday we talked about helping, and today we want to talk about unity. If there's ever been a time for unity, it's now.

The poll is officially open for you to share your choices for our playlist of 893 Songs That Bring Us Together. Make your entry by Sunday, April 26th, then tune in May 4 - 14 as we end the Member Drive strong by playing the 893 Songs That Bring Us Together.

Let's get this voting kicked off with a big brainstorm for today's 9:30 Coffee Break. What songs do you want to hear that make you feel connected -- to each other and your community?
