We recognize that 2020 is a critical year and we plan to be up to the challenge. Since the 20^th week of 2020 is over on May 20^th we are seeking donations in $20 increments. Each $20 donation will equal one vote for member participants to complete the challenge they have accepted. A $100 donation will count as 5 votes!

Al Cohen, OCDC chair, has agreed to shave his head if he is the top vote getter. The treasurer, Rick Kinsella, has accepted a challenge to play 20 consecutive rounds of golf wearing a hot pink outfit. Marianne Simberg will caddie (but not for 20). Leo Matzke, the longest serving mayor of Oneida (along with his family) will perform a medley of patriotic tunes on kazoos during the Memorial Day Parade. Who wouldn’t want to see the Matzke Clan Kazoo Band perform? We also have Jeff Harrington dyeing his hair the color of the highest donor’s choice, John Nichols getting a complete makeover from his daughter Becky (and if you know Becky, John will be a sight for sore eyes!), and council member Jim Coulthart will take custard pies to the face.

Given the coronavirus has hit here, all challenges will be done publicly when safe to do so or posted online for all to view in the safety and comfort of home. All votes will be tabulated and the “winner” will perform their challenge shortly thereafter!

Donate by using ActBlue online (links below) or send checks to the OCDC c/o Rick Kinsella, 452 Main St, Oneida, NY 13421. Donations should be made online or postmarked by May 20^th.

I triple dog dare you!!!
