Most of all the time I spent with WHRO was working with them and their radio drive. They host it a couple times a year and usually have a big success. It's a lot like the television drive besides the fact that you're not on live television. You get the same type of script you follow as the people call. Sometimes it can get real slow, or sometimes it can get real busy. I remember the first time I did it. Paula, the lady head of volunteering asked me to come in at 5:30 in the morning. She said they really needed people so I kindly agreed. Tough waking up that early to answer phone calls, you'd be surprised about the amount of people who called. The first lady I got was this sweet old woman. Before I could even say anything she said, " I would like to donate this to all my doggies that have died, they always would sit with me and listen to you guys". It was really sweet, she kept going on and on about her dogs. She told me all their names and I was sure to put it in the comment box so it would make it on air. During the radio drives you can get some real talkers. People just want to have a full of conversation with you. They want to tell you their life story. It's actually really interesting. I remember I was sitting next to this one lady who was on the phone with some guy for forty five minutes! No lie! He just wouldn't let her go. You would think he was going to ask her out on a date or something. Most of the time people call during the radio drive, it's just to donate but they do have some thing to give away. They have tickets to different types of shows which is usually at a two hundred dollar price level. They also have books and DVD's like always too! If the donor chooses to not pick a gift, all their tax deductible will go towards programming.

Althought the radio drive has ended they still need your help!
