Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 's Daily Message Friday September 08, 2006 PBS I love watching public television. I`ve always thought that their programming is terrific, and yes, I have always been a supporter of PBS and have purchased, through the years, many CDs, VHS tapes, and DVDs during their pledge drives. Back in the 80`s when I was on " General Hospital, " there was a makeup artist there that also worked at PBS. She asked me if I could come to PBS one Saturday and work, answering the phones during the show. Well, I had nothing to do that afternoon, so I said yes. Right after teachin` a sweatin` class, I headed over to a studio in Hollywood where the pledge drive was going to be live. Oh, how I love " live " ! When I got there, everyone was so wonderful to me. A lady sat me down and explained to me how to answer the phones and fill out the pledge forms. After a few minutes, I took my seat in the phone bank, along with 30 other people. I was raring to go! My phone started ringing immediately and didn`t stop ringing. You can't lollygag with anyone, because you have to get their pledge and get the person off the phone quickly so your phone can ring again. When the show was over, I was told I took in more pledges than anyone else! They asked if I could come back and answer phones for their next pledge drive. I did about 5 shows for PBS, and I had so much fun doing them! The pledge drives are crucial to all the local PBS stations, over 360 of them, because it`s their only way to keep the stations on the air. The people in the good old USA are the sole supporters of these stations that entertain and educate us so well! Never in a million years did I think I would ever have a pledge show on PBS! But thanks to some really terrific people, I get to go in the studio once again, not to answer the phones, but to present my very own show called " Love Yourself and Win " ! The show is about finding self-love. There are 6 steps to climb, and when you get to the top, you will truly feel your self-worth. I`ll tell you more about this show tomorrow!
