Old North Knoxville has a long and proud tradition of supporting good works in
and around our community. On Thursday, March 16, we again have an
opportunity to show our support by manning the telephones during our local
Public Television stations semi-annual fundraising period. Old North has
been doing this since before my family and I moved here and I certainly feel it
is for a worthy cause. (I love "This Old House," "The New
Yankee Workshop" and "Antiques Road Show.")
Our neighborhood has committed to having 12 people man the phones from 6:30 PM to 11 PM, and they do feed us! Last year I ate my weight in Krystals. Even though our local PBS, on its promos says it is in Sneedville, the studios are actually within a couple of miles of Old North at 1611 Magnolia Avenue. If you can help in this fun and worthy event, contact Andy Anderson at 523-2005 and he'll be glad to give you more details. I'm sure we can also arrange for transportation, if needed. Note from the webmaster: public funding for PBS and NPR is in serious jeopardy... click here to find out more. |
