THANKS to all the volunteers, donors, voters, and supporters. We did a great campaign and, in a City where it typically takes 3 elections to win a seat, we earned some great name ID. We played fair, no one had to mortgage their house, and we stayed friends. 'Catch you all next time....Like Tigger, we'll be bouncing back soon! - Maria Gutzeit
Tigger
Tigger is a fictional tiger character originally introduced in A. A. Milne's book The House at Pooh Corner. He is easily recognized by his orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, a springy tail, and his bouncy personality. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best." Like other Pooh characters, Tigger is based on one of Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed animals.
