One Marble Left

Starting the beginning of 2011, I began a marble countdown.  Each marble represented one LID day between the date they had referred through until our date of 9/12/06.  It was a nice visual to see the marble jar decrease, a sign that while it was moving slowly, we were indeed getting closer.  Some months were fun, removing as many as 14 marbles one month, but most were less impressive, 4-6 at a time.  But this past referral batch we went from 8 marbles to one, representing one LID left, our own.
