Volunteer and staff passes
Going into each Sharathon, I always get "a vibe", which is not an indicator of the outcome. Certainly not prophetic! Regardless, my vibe this year was one of uncertainty. We were trying something different with the monthly goal. Like last year, the goal was $23,000 but instead of starting with the on-going givers which takes us to about $21,000, we decided to announce the difference which was $2,200. In the end we reached $24,518, beyond our expectations!

In the monthly we originally were going to stay at $100,000 so as to not appear greedy, but in truth, our fundraising initiatives has not gone well. So, to make up for it we set a goal of $125,000 which, by the end of Sharathon, became $148,487. We usually get 95% of the pledges so we'll be in good shape for another year!

Many of you may know that I suffer from clinical depression and take meds each day. It was my hope that I would not have any bouts during Sharathon, where I am needed on the air and as a team leader, but I was not so lucky. At 4pm Wednesday I crashed and could not recover so I went home to take a nap and sleep it off. It didn't work so I didn't return to Sharathon that day. The next day started where I left off and after two disastrous on-air breaks, I went to the Georgian gym for an hour. It worked. The workout refreshed my spirit and I was feeling "on" for the all-important 5-7:30pm wrap-up shift, which we call "the home stretch".
