Darke County Republican Party
Party “Callers”
recognized for their service
“The more than 50 people that helped with calling all during this year
were just fantastic at stepping up and volunteering. Without their
help, we would never have made the almost 50,000 calls that were made!”
said Lyn Bliss, chair for the Republican calling efforts in Darke
County.
The Ohio Republican Party and Congressman John Boehner cooperatively
funded the program that is done by a Voice Over Internet Protocol
(VOIP) system.
A recognition party was held in honor of all those who had volunteered
during the year. Additionally, those who had volunteered the greatest
number of hours and those who had made the greatest number of calls
during the year were specifically honored and given prizes.
Representative Jim Buchy (R-84) gave out the prizes to all of the
recipients. Buchy had also joined calling sessions during the year.
Robert Foster attended 31 calling sessions and made over 5,100 calls.
He was awarded a copy of the Congressional Club Cookbook, autographed
by Speaker John Boehner.
Janet Rapier was second with the most calls placed, having made over
4,500. She was awarded a set of crystal glasses with the U.S. House of
Representatives Seal and Speaker John Boehner’s signature etched on
each.
Marna Bricker was third, having made over 4,100 calls. She was awarded
a baseball cap with the seal of the U.S. House of Representatives and
personally autographed by Speaker Boehner.
James McGlothin attended 24 of the 47 calling sessions and received a
crystal ice bucket with the U.S. House of Representatives Seal and
Speaker John Boehner’s signature etched on it.
Vivian Foreman and Kaye Moore were tied for second, each having
attended 23 of the 47 calling sessions. Foreman was awarded a set of
crystal glasses with the U.S. House of Representatives Seal and Speaker
John Boehner’s signature etched on each. Moore was unable to attend the
recognition party. However, she was awarded a baseball cap with the
seal of the U.S. House of Representatives and personally autographed by
Speaker Boehner.
“All of you in this room are to be congratulated. Your efforts are no
less diminished because of the nationwide election results. You should
all be proud and know that you helped Darke County have over a 71% vote
for Republican Candidate Romney.” said Darke County Republican
Executive Chair Cindy Pike.
A flag plaque was presented to Lyn Bliss in recognition of her efforts
during the year.
“You were so very worried about making sure all the callers got
recognized, we thought that you needed to also be recognized because of
the great job you did getting this program together and coordinating
all the details throughout the year.” said Pike as she presented the
plaque to Bliss, which had been signed by all of the callers.
