210,000 Votes and Counting...
Message from Hits 105.5...
You may have noticed that the tallies for votes listed at Hits 105.5
are showing errors. What does that mean? It means that this
year’s Volunteer of the Year voting has already exceeded all
expectations, and we still have six more days to go!
As of midnight last night, more than 210,000 votes have been cast for
the 25 Volunteer of the Year nominees in Darke, Logan, Miami and Shelby
Counties! That’s more votes than the total population of our four
county region! While the online tallies are appearing with
errors, please know that your votes are being calculated
correctly. The webmaster for Hits 105.5 assures us that he has
the correct totals behind the scenes. A minimum of 40,000 votes
have been cast in each county, and this latest glitch means only that
the winner will be a secret until our April 11th celebration of
volunteers.
Continue voting through April 6th with confidence. Your votes do count,
and we appreciate the absolutely amazing results from this year’s
second annual celebration of National Volunteer Week through HandsOn
West Central Ohio and Hits 105.5. For more frequent updates,
check our Facebook page.
Special thanks to this year’s National Volunteer Week sponsors,
including A Learning Place, Emerson Climate Technologies, Mary Rutan
Hospital, Second National Bank, Unity National Bank and Wayne Health
Care. Special thanks also to our incredible friends at Hits 105.5 who
have allowed us to, in our own way, “crash” their website. Keep
voting!
Voting ends April 6th, and winners will be announced during our
celebration of volunteers on April 11th and again live on Hits 105.5 on
the morning of April 13th.
Nicolette Winner of HandsOn West Central Ohio and Council on Rural
Services said she could understand the confusion.
“I’m sure you can appreciate that we could never have anticipated such
an amazing response, especially with just under 8,000 votes during last
year’s inaugural promotion. We are committed to maintaining the
integrity of the voting, as are our friends at Hits, and we have
checked to ensure that every vote does, in fact, count,” she said.
These are the volunteers who have been nominated for Darke County. In
order to cast your vote, go to http://www.hits1055.com/ and click on
the “Vote Now” box in the upper left corner.
Nominees: Pete Trocano, Cindy Hale, Brooke Combs, Christy Riley, Barb
Baker and Mariah Reitz.
