Pledge Drive

It was great to be a part of FSTVs winter pledge drive, It was very informative to see what it takes to put on a pledge drive like this. I was able to help set up and get the cameras ready on some days, and I was able to answer the phones a couple of days, which was a great experience. I loved talking to people from all over, and hearing their stories about why they were donating, and how much they value FSTV; I have a much better idea of who our demographic is now. I only wish I could have spent more hours here observing and helping, having to leave for class each day at 3 kind of limited what I could do, but I was still happy to be involved, if even in a small way.

Pledge Production Over/ Occupy Begins

On Thursday, we wrapped up production for the pledge drive. Since I have to leave on 2:30 most days right now, I wasn't able to be there all day, so I wasn't able to do much more production besides setting up and helping with rehearsals. This did, however, give me the chance to answer phones which was kind of a fun experience.

Now, I believe FSTV is planning on doing a live 1 hour long show. It seems ambitious right now, but that also makes it pretty exciting. I'm guessing that means some more responsibilities for us, and/or starting to need our news 'packages' for the segment. Either way, I'm excited to see what it brings. We'll see.
