> Well, thanks Barbara, but I choose to give them the benefit of the doubt before casting a cloud over them on our list here. Your point on the Akron Center is unfortunately valid but I didn't meet with an agency, I met with people, and they're doing some good work there. Just because one facility or agency is failing to fulfill its mission, I'm not going to look at every other facility or agency in a skeptical or cynical light. That would diminish our opportunity to work with them and help them improve their services and their focus. Focusing on long ago past disappointments with them, most likely different people there at the time, creates the same roadblock to learning from each other and working together. The people make the difference. Room to improve? Sure, like all of us. But I will readily and gladly refer people in that part of Ohio to the Sight Center in Toledo.

Remembering how disillusioned you all in the Akron chapter became with the Akron Blind Center, you should not be too surprised to learn that we have a long and rather unpleasant history with the Toledo Sight Center. I can only hope that they have reformed their ways, but for a lot of ears they have dragged their heels at teaching Braille and offering constructive support and assistance to the blind people they are supposed to serve. Agencies in general have sharpened their skills at talking a good game while finding it inconvenient to provide constructive service.

They really stretch their budget and do a lot with very little. Wish every community in Ohio had a facility with services and staff like the Sight Center of Northwest Ohio. Thank you Stacey and keep up the great work!

> WE ARE PLEASED TO NOW OFFER A NEW E-TICKET SYSTEM ALONG WITH PAPER TICKETS
> FOR USE WITH THE 2020 PIGGEST RAFFLE EVER!
>
>
>
> The E-Ticket system allows for you to make a sale from your phone via a
> direct link to your charity's Piggest Raffle ticket sales. It also provides
> an email confirmation as well as the donor's digital ticket numbers directly
> to the donor. If you are interested in using the E-Ticket system, please
> email us and we will send out the link and instructions to you.
>
>
>
> We are also offering a limited number of paper tickets again this year. You
> may reserve tickets (available in increments of 50) by dropping off a check
> in the amount of $5 per ticket or credit card number at the Flying Pig
> office (644 Linn St., Suite 802, Cincinnati, OH 45203). Once you sell the
> tickets for $5 each at your event, you keep the amount of the sale and
> return the completed entries or unused tickets back to us to enter in the
> contest database. Keep in mind, we don't cash the check or run your credit
> card, we simply hold it until you return all of the completed entries or
> unsold tickets. Paper tickets cannot be mailed to you.
>
>
>
> Please note: We are requesting that the tickets be returned in number order
> and we strongly encourage you to record to whom these tickets were sold so
> you have a record of it. We will have several deadlines this year for
> returning paper tickets to us and this email will help you mark some of the
> important dates:
>
>
>
> 1. Last date to pick up Piggest Raffle paper tickets from us - March 20
>
> 2. Last date to return the Piggest Raffle paper tickets to us - April 17
>
