As many of you remember, about two months ago I promised a pizza party to the DML team who had the highest number of levy activities participated in – a straightforward count of activity. I invited smaller teams to join together because there is quite a variation in staffing for each branch/department. When sending tallies in, all the teams decided to go on their own.
The winner of the straight count contest is the BAD ADS team! We stopped counting at 83 events participated in when we topped runners up, Miamisburg at an incredible count of 82. We had some very dedicated campaigners who worked very hard during the campaign. They were a great team to work with. Congratulations BAD ADS! Pizza is on its way.
Now the story doesn’t stop here. If we go by a straight count, of course BAD ADS is going to win. Look how big we are and none of the other smaller teams joined together to form a bigger team. Also, you probably wouldn’t want to have worked in ADS over the past two months. I regularly asked people to participate in events. Oftentimes they didn’t want to do the event, but they did because I begged & pleaded. (A crying reference librarian is a sad sight.) So we got some extra counts from troopers who came through when I was in desperate need of help. Anyway, I thought about the inequities of the large department BAD ADS and the tremendous contributions from smaller teams. So I decided to award a second pizza party. I took the number of levy campaign volunteer counts and divided them by the number of the staff in the branch/department. My understanding is that this is similar to what is done for summer reading club. The winner of the second pizza party is Four Trucks & a Crew team, otherwise known as Outreach. They participated in 63 levy campaign activities with only a team of 13 people. Runner up is, again, a great team, Miamisburg. Congratulations to Four Trucks & a Crew!
Well, it’s just one week since election day. I’m so happy that the levy passed. And in my book, we are all winners. I thank everyone who pitched in.
Sincerely,

Whew! Election Day is finally here! You are invited to come out and have a good time after all the work we have done. Join us at Franco's tomorrow evening at 7:30. (Franco's is located at 824 E. Fifth Street next to the Dublin Pub in downtown.) Soon after that, the absentee votes will be announced. Depending on how close it is, it could go on a long time. So, those of you working tomorrow evening should still find a happening scene after work. We hope to see everyone there!

Pizza Party Contest
NÖRTHMÖNTLY CRÜE reports a whopping number of 44 times someone from their branch has volunteered for a Library levy campaign event. Lots of the staff have given their time & talent: joined up at Marion's Pizza to go out for a lit drop, spoke at public events, talked with voters on a phone bank night, staffed tables at events such as SunWatch & Aullwood Applefest, helped with the Library Aid fundraiser, hosted & participated in Mine + 9 events, volunteered for the 2nd Street Market table, & helped with sign distribution.
We know a lot of you are volunteering for events just like this. Send me your team's counts at

. We want to hear from you. Thanks to everyone who is pitching in.
If you haven't done a whole lot of volunteering, now is your time. We still have 2 weeks of the campaign left. Check the levy's Facebook page and your DMLSA e-mails for the phone bank & canvassing schedules. We still need people to work on election day, too.
And remember to wear your lapel stickers whenever you aren't at the Library. We don't need a big festival to be talking about how important the Library's levy is. Remember, you are the event when you wear your lapel sticker!
