[Ohio-Talk] The Piggest Ever Raffle

[Todd Elzey]

Well, it appears that the President and the Secretary have upped their game
on the Piggest Raffle. So I am buying another $25 worth of tickets right
now and then I will add in another $50 worth come April to equal Mr.
Duffy's $100 contribution. Even though we are having a little friendly
competition here and I encourage anyone who wants to try and beat us,
remember every single dollar raised is important. So, even if all you can
do is a single $5 ticket, buy it and share it with us online. Its not just
these large contributions that make a difference, but it's also the
cumulative impact of bunches of smaller contributions that make a
difference as well.
