Hello PeDa1ers! I hope you are having a great Friday!

We are planning a fun kick off based on the old Hollywood Squares game show.

• If you would like to participate, please let Teresa (osupiio@osumc.edu) know.
• We are looking at a May date – but it is not yet set in stone.
• We have some Pelotonia folks who have volunteered.
• We would like to make this a fund raiser – but I need some help figuring that out. Please share any ideas! 🙂

The PeDa1ers can win a $1,000 bonus if we bring in 10 or more riders between April 12-25.

• This money will go to the peloton and then be shared evenly at the end of the fundraising time.

It’s time for Team Buckeye Raffle Tickets again!

• Please let me know how many you would like, and Teresa will order them for you.
• Then you can pick them up from her office. (Or you can order yourself)
• If you like, Teresa will also take care of turning in tickets and monies, but she must receive them by August 16th.
