The father of the gambling charity billboard - by Chris Velardi

(Meriden-WTNH, Jan. 7, 2005 5:45 PM) _ Every once in awhile a billboard gets your attention because it stands out from the rest. Have you seen the one that's not trying to sell anything but charity?
by News Channel 8's Chris Velardi
Perhaps you've seen the billboards. There's one in Waterbury, one in Branford and a few other spots around the state. They're urging gamblers to donate money to charity instead of casinos.
So who put them up? An anti-gambling group?
Nope.
Father Ed Nadolny did.
'You put the Lotto and the casinos together -- that's 150-Million dollars a year Catholics are spending on gambling,' he says"
