treasurer, jim mcconaughey, for a special presentation and announcement. ou'll see the ukrainian flag off to your right and we've all been watching the images on tv and reading the stories and seeing the terrible tragedy that's happening to everyone there. it's distressing, it's heartbreaking to watch men, women and children die for the very freedoms that all of us enjoy so much. if you're like me, you've been saying to yourself, i wish i could do something to help. so our chairmen have given the green light for to us pass the plate tonight and ask you to put whatever you think is -- you'd like it put in it. it's a free will offering. we hope you will be generous. but we're going to make sure that money gets to some humanitarian aid for the people of ukraine. if you've run out of money, cash, because you spent so much coming here tonight, you can write a check and make it out to the concord g.o.p. and just make sure you put the word ukraine down on the bottom of it. thank you very much.
