NPR Pledge Drive

My company volunteered to answer phones this year for the local NPR pledge drive. Seven of us showed up at the Seattle station at 5:45 a.m. to report for duty... and waiting for us was fresh coffee (thank goodness) and tons of food. The phone answering part was fairly easy, they provided a script and directions. We ended up making the goal in the last minutes of our three hour shift...very satisfying!!! However, it is a good thing that we will not be doing this again until next year...being in Seattle at quarter of six in the morning had me getting up around 2:30 a.m., waaaaaaaaay too early.
