OK, so there isn't the same level of thrill one would experience at the Kentucky Derby, however, after much hype and promotion, "Kiss the Pig" is underway and the excitement is starting to build. I walked over to the student center this morning to see what was going on (and to put some money in my piggy bank..ssssshhhhhh!). When I got there I saw that the students were already out in force, smiling and encouraging everyone to "vote." Right beside them was a table with 20+ piggy banks, with pictures of faculty, staff, and administrators—wearing a funny piggy hat and some making faces—taped to them.
It turns out that most people were "voting" for me and the political science professor. Let us hope that a healthy competition develops and leads to a nail-biting finish. That will provide our campus with a much needed excitement before the finals, and Kasthamandap Rotary a significant amount of money to help the students in Dhankutta, Nepal.
Again, if you would like to contribute, please let me know what your pledge is and I will give that amount to a PTK student. I will provide you with information on sending me the check for the amount. A price of one latte CAN make a big difference! Thank you to those who have already sent in their contribution.
