Winter is on its way and Phonathon is cooler than ever. Seriously. You never really know what temperature the call center is going to be–so, like the Boy Scouts say: “Be Prepared”. Prepared? Yes, prepared for anything. Somedays its colder than a polar bear’s icebox, while other days it seems like the air is hotter than the winds of the Sahara. Although, I never have been to the Sahara, so I don’t know for sure about that one. Anyways, you still never know what it’s going to be like–almost like an adventure of sorts. In order to counter the elements of the call center and remain focused on my main goal of calling our great alumni, I now dress in layers.
Something about Messiah, which I particularly enjoyed this past week, was the opportunity to have “Pizza with the Pres.”–the chance to meet Messiah’s very own, Dr. Kim Phipps and have a nice chat over some pizza. Dr. Phipps was at the Witmer Residence (wherest I reside) and allowed us to share a very unique experience, being able to express our feelings and opinions with the President without having to pass through rounds and rounds of selective screening. Messiah is truly a great place to be.
So that wraps up yet another week of Phonathon. The place where calls are made and lives are changed.
