By David Anderson, Tillicum
For the first time since taking over 1st place in the entire country on November 2, we’re behind. That’s 44 days we’ve led the nation. Now with 45 days, 15 hours, 30 minutes left to go, we’ve been overtaken prompting this alarm from a retired Air Force Captain to his network: “For those of you who are helping us get the $25,000 Habitat for Humanity grant for the Good People of Tillicum, note that for the first time, we are trailing! Close won’t matter. Tillicum needs the grant. Please pull all stops and vote.” Please forward this to all you know – to vote every 24 hours at www.ahschallenge.com.
UPDATE: David sent his letter at 8:54 am on Thursday morning. As of 3:54 pm on Thursday, Tacoma/Pierce County has retaken the lead by 111 votes. 45 days left. Let’s make them all count.
As always Ben, thanks for keeping this alive!
And by the way, the last 24 hours (5 p.m.) has seen the largest vote total cast for Tillicum since the race began way back on Oct.15 – a whopping 647 votes (surpassing our previous total of 637)!
