Right now we're sittin' at 61.1% with $1,314,955 of a $2,150,000 goal. Not too bad. We're gettin' there. These last four weeks are when a lot of magic happens, and we just got to stay focused.<br /><br />We had our mid-campaign report meeting a few days back, and we had all of the reporting chairs with the exception of Bryan Daniels, who was away on business – so he says. I think he was still embarrassed by the funny video.<br /><br />Just so everybody knows, Andy White's General Business Division came in first place, raising almost 75% of their goal. (General Business is up to 82.8% of their goal to date.)<br /><br />Here's a picture of him accepting his blue ribbon.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_6j3bAJiGIgs/RxkWwuijV2I/AAAAAAAAAFs/DrRw-kWogpI/s1600-h/AndyWhiteAcceptsAward.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_6j3bAJiGIgs/RxkWwuijV2I/AAAAAAAAAFs/DrRw-kWogpI/s200/AndyWhiteAcceptsAward.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123151077493135202" border="0" /></a>I'm proud of Andy. He's become a true politician.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Now don't tell him I said that.)<br /></div><br />But it was a great report meeting, and each of our campaign chairs reported being on target to meeting our goal, which is wonderful.<br /><br />Anyway, here we are with a little less than a month to go in the campaign. The hard work starts now. We've got a little more than $827,000 left to raise, and we're down to weeks left. And we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.<br /><br />It's time to get energized and refocused. That last lap is the hardest one to run, and it's time to run.<br /><br />Blog ya' later,<br />Dave BennettDave Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02273960573993323905noreply@blogger.com
