Today's Pledge Drive Pic

Patricia Felgenhauer won tickets to the YWCA
"Women of Achievement Luncheon"

 

“Mmm…sprinkles.” This morning the Homer Simpson in me emerged when Maggie, a volunteer at Spokane Public Radio brought in doughnuts. It was hard not to grab a pink pastry and retreat to a desk to take a siesta. Instead, there were guests in the studio and pictures to be taken. The last several days have been interesting taking shots of studio guests, drawing winners, and daily events. After spending time in Pledge Central, it became apparent how enthusiastic the volunteers are about answering calls. Everyone was so excited to answer phones that an informal competition emerged. Between the volunteers battling for phones, and the staff hovering over the new “delicious dish” in the lobby, it seemed more like a scene from “The Bird’s” than a friendly public radio pledge drive.  Today is Friday! But at SPR it’s just the beginning of the week. While I might pull out the hammock and relax on a fall day like Homer, the volunteers at SPR will be working hard to take your donations throughout the weekend. Pledge your support at (509) 328-5729.
