Today I was one of several volunteers manning the phones for the pledge drive at VPR. After a brief training we donned our headsets and waited for the calls to come in. The system accesses a data base of past donors which most of the callers are and is easy to use. What you are to say to the caller comes up on a screen and as you proceed through the screens it's all self-explanatory. At the end of the call we were to ask what the donors favorite shows were or their favorite thing to do in Vermont in the summer is. One who said she loved all the shows couldn't think of their names. When I suggested The Story she said yes and thought it was neat that we both liked the same show. All she could think of for Prairie Home Companion was "that old guy!"
Essex House provided a delicious salmon, rice and salad dinner for us so it was a WIN/WIN situation. All the employees were very nice and I had the privilege of meeting the president, Robin Turnau who lives in Charlotte too.
Had a nice seat mate, Brian, who has invited us to call him on a nice weather day to go out on his sailboat. Life is good!
