During the month of NOVEMBER, Palmiero Toyota is collecting votes for Toyota Gives Back and NWPA NTMA Education Foundation is on the ballot for the first time!
Voting boxes set up in the delivery area and people can enter through the side doors (entrance at the light) to vote. This year instead of pens and paper there is a deli counter system where you will rip off your ticket number and place in the box of your choice.
There is also a selfie station set up so you can take pictures while you vote and send to people to encourage them to VOTE DAILY!
