The Top 10 Cool Things About Auction …
April 19, 2007 at 7:05 am | In Action Auction | 3 CommentsHere is a Top 10 list of Cool Things About Auction.
Drum roll, please …
10. Most people at CET suddenly take on brand new jobs, and sometimes learn completely new skills. (Usually take viewer calls? How would you like to run a camera for a few days? How would you like to be on camera for a few days?)
9. Volunteers start pouring in from all over the city and fitting in like they’ve been here all year.
8. Work hours take on a whole new meaning.
7. People who never get to be on TV revel in their moment of glory.
6. People who always get to be on TV revel in their moment of glory.
5. Volunteers rule, and I mean literally.
4. Friends return, year after year.
3. We’re louder and more boisterous than Home Shopping Network.
2. Whole brigades of volunteer phone operators from companies across town show their colors and embarrass their co-workers as they try hard to be dignified Auctioneers.
1. Cincinnati turns out to support its own public media at CET. Thank you.
What can you add?

I know that this was mentioned before, however the volunteers that come in for Action Auction are amazing…. I have never seen such a goup of volunteers that dedicate so many hours to one event and that have so much passion for what they are doing. I was truly honored to be part of this team!
