*Subway apologizes to home schoolers*

May 28, 2008

Dear ,

*Your efforts made a difference!*

Today, Subway apologized for excluding home schoolers from its "Every 
Sandwich Tells a Story Contest 
<http://outbound.afa.net:80/track?type=click&mailingid=subsorry_052808&messageid=subsorry_052808&databaseid=1234&serial=1181234491&emailid=omcrider@criderpublishing.com&userid=15477017&extra=&&&100&&&http://www.afa.net/subway.htm>." 
AFA has verified a newly released apology from Subway by its partnering 
Scholastic public relations department.

The apology reads:

    /Regarding your concerns about the Subway contest that excludes home
    schools from contest eligibility, Scholastic and Subway apologize to
    all individuals who have taken offense at this. Our intention was
    never to make independent schooled children feel discriminated
    against or excluded from this specific promotion./

    /Throughout the course of the year Scholastic runs a number of
    contests and sweepstakes that are open to all teachers and students.
    The eligibility of this contest in particular was solely put in
    place to award a large group of children with the grand prize of
    $5,000 worth of athletic equipment. We do however understand how
    home- schooled children could benefit from this type of prizing and
    will make sure eligibility is open to everyone in future promotions./

    /We appreciate your feedback and will make sure a similar situation
    does not happen in the future./

I want to thank you for taking time to contact Subway. AFA has thanked 
them on your behalf.

Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are 
worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible 
contribution?
