We did it.. over $77,000.00 raised

I don’t think any of us really believed that we would make it.
Two weeks, two storms.. power out, phone lines out… yet ultimately the tally shows about $77,000 raised during the Salvation Army Radiothon. Other funds will still come in from remote kettle locations and further donations.
It was a real team effort.. everyone was welcome to help, and everyone did. From collecting donations, mailing out fund requests, asking for donations from local merchants, families and friends; answering phones, managing the auction items and accounts and calling the winners… the thing that started out quietly in the summer just kept going of its own accord.
The ice storm last week held us back.. most of the audience had no power or phones. By letting us go forward to a second week, the owners of the radio station made it possible for us to continue the effort for one more week.. and it worked beyond belief.
The Salvation Army depends on these efforts to be able to do its job. And for this event to succeed, it needed the support of all of the people in the Greater Lowell area.. and everyone came through.
God Bless, and Merry Christmas to all
