KAET 8 PBS Pledge Drive - March 11, 2012

This past Sunday, March 11, 2012 volunteered to help with phone pledges for the local PBS station Eight KAET.

A small group of us helped on Sunday, March 11, 2012 with phone pledges.
As telephone operators we took calls from viewers wishing to pledge their financial support to Eight Arizona PBS.

We also got a short tour of the facility and the scoop on what it takes for KAET Arizona PBS to put on a show. This particular time, there was a live show being taped for the latter part of the shift we volunteered for.

We got to briefly meet Robert Van Camp, the producer of Great Scenic Railways: Celebrating North America's Steam Railways, and Big Shoe Stu Evans from KMLE Country as they taped alongside us phone pledge volunteers. The taping was for the various gifts that viewers can choose from when they submit their pledge of support.
Another thing I should mention is food. Yogurtini provided lunch for the afternoon shift that we volunteered for, which of course meant frozen yogurt for dessert. Yum!
