[Ohio-talk] [Cinci-nfb] URGENT: 2018 Flying Pig BLT Station

[Deanna Lewis]

I really urge everyone to sign-up for the Flying Pig BLT Station. It's
a lot of fun and I really look forward to it each year. We really need
your help, if we don't have enough volunteers we will have to cancel,
which will leave many runners very sad and tissue-less.
Not to mention that our affiliate will not get the money for participating.
Please sign-up today, you will not be disappointed!
