Kentucky Unit Record-A-Thon
Due to Derby Week festivities,
the Kentucky Unit conducted its annual Record-A-Thon (RAT) from
April 21 thru April 26. The dedicated volunteers exceeded the
goal of 180 production hours established for the week by about
10%. Fifty-nine persons worked at least one more than their normal
time(s) during the week. The top RAT production hour contributors
include the following: Jim Brady (10); Steve Saborsky (9); Nancy
Ward (9); Ted Cauble (8); and Bill Shepard (8).
Celebrity participation
was down this year due to conflicts with other Derby Festival
events that span the two weeks before the big race. Television
anchors Susan Sweeney Crum and Rachel Platt participated along
with radio personalities Peter Bucalo, Mel Rexroat and Kim Sorise.
Their on-air publicity generated numerous queries from potential
volunteers.
There were three meals each
day and a gala cookout following the last sessions on Saturday
morning. The Cookout and extra session attendance provided opportunities
for volunteers to meet some new people with whom they do not normally
work.
