It is that time of year again. For the past few months the high school students (and a few harried faculty members) have been gearing up for the 40 hour telethon this weekend (Dec 12-14).
I’ve been digging in the past couple of weeks getting the various computer systems fired up, and taking photographs of the hundreds of auction items we receive (not as many hundreds as past years – the economy ripples hit charities the hardest).
Now the fun part (at least for me) – I’ll be photographing the event and posting photograph albums on the WAVM web site (wavm.org). The first gallery is up with some behind the scenes shots from earlier in the week.
If you are in the Greater Maynard area, please support the telethon with a donation or bid on an item in the auction. The money goes to the Beacon Santa, which supports needy families in a dozen or more communities in the area. The WAVM Beacon Santa Telethon is the single largest contributor to the Beacon Santa Fund — an amazing job accomplished by high school students that still have classes, homework, SATs, sports, and everything else kids deal with these days.
You can watch the telethon on Comcast Channels 8 and 10 in Maynard. I’m not sure if we’re being carried in neighboring towns – we often end up on their public access channels. We’ll also be streaming it live on the web and you can follow the auction via the web as well.
Just head on over to wavm.org and follow the links to the telethon and please consider supporting the students in their efforts to support those in need.
