I have already written about pledging for NPR and PBS. My donor gift came today (not the 6-8 weeks projected at the time of my pledge.) And, it is as advertised. I could not find much on TV, so guess what, I am listening to my donor gift.
I was thinking about the volunteers who work the pledge phones. The person I spoke to took all of my information, and then plodded on to ask if I would pay for the shipping for the pledge gift. At this point, her voice sounded tired and apologetic: We are asking for your money at a pledge level, then even asking for more.
I thanked the volunteer for her efforts at the completion of my pledge transaction. She seemed a little speechless. I wonder how many thank yous those volunteers get.
Well, do not forget to support NPR and PBS.
