Georgia Public Broadcasting Tel-a-thon
Last Sunday, Thomas and I volunteered with the UU’s at the Georgia Public Broadcasting Tel-a-thon. I was excited because my mom sat next to Clay Aiken’s mom when she volunteered at the Raleigh tel-a-thon. I didn’t sit next to anyone famous, but I did get to meet and chat with a cool lady in the Roswell congregation.
The tel-a-thon was pretty relaxed - we got free food and were offered VHS tapes of old shows they had aired. I only had one complaining caller, and that was during Julia Child’s show. He said her eggs looked runny.
I was able to raise over $1500, but I really didn’t have to do much, just follow a script. And hopefully whoever used the phone after me didn’t catch the cough that I’ve been fighting all week.
