Even though it is only January, it is time to start thinking about
will participating in Old North Knoxville's annual evening of manning
the be phones at the PBS telethon. This year we are scheduled to man
the phones on Saturday, March 9 from 6:15 PM until 11 PM.
Your neighborhood has been participating in this fund-raising event
for our local PBS station for as long as I have been in the
neighborhood, and we always manage to have a lot of fun while helping.
Last year I believe we raised the most of any single group. It may
have helped that we were there during the Lawrence Welk extravaganza,
but I prefer to think it was due to our exceptional phone presence. We
do not know as yet what program we will be on this year, but I do know
that we will have fun whatever it is. Do yourself a favor and
call Andy Anderson @ 523-2005 and volunteer to join us. We only
need twelve people, but will be happy to have more so that we can work
shifts. Last year I didn't have enough time to eat more than about 5
sandwiches and 3 or 4 bowls of ice cream. If we have more people then
I can eat in my accustomed manner. They do feed us, you know.
