Listening online to WEVL’s Fall Pledge Drive all this week has really got me homesick for being part of the fundraising party. As a programmer, it was one of the few times throughout the year that you were really able to hang out with the other programmers at the station. The environment was often chaotic but never dull. And it was great to see everyone working together so hard for one purpose. I should also add that there was always great food donated by local restaurants. And on the last day of the pledge drive, Apryl would bring her amazing chocolate pie (and if you were at our wedding you know just how amazing it is)! I really hadn’t done much volunteer work before coming to WEVL. And I have to say that my service there has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. And, of course, it was the Fall Pledge Drive where me and Apryl first met.
In 2005, I took these photos from the Fall Pledge Drive. Great times!
If you would like to help WEVL reach their goal of $62,000 by Saturday, you can give them a call at 901-528-1990 or pledge online.
Aw shucks. Thanks. We miss y’all and I don’t see why Apryl can’t FedEx us a pie!
