It’s finally here! The 2 weeks we have been planning for. This week is Sharathon at The Joy FM, the Christian radio station that is in Florida, Georgia and around the world on our apps and online streaming. Sharathon is the 4 days in the fall when we raise our funding for the next 6 months. It is crazy because in 4 days we will raise almost $2 million. We are a non-commercial station so we aren’t funded by commercials, we are funded by the listeners, and only 4% of our listening audience financially support the radio station, most at a mere $30/month! I say “we” because I have been listening to the station since it went on the air 30 years ago. I was on staff for 4 years and I have been a volunteer since 1988. My son, Aaron is now on staff at the station so we truly take pride in “our” radio station. I’ll be volunteering Tuesday-Friday answering phones from 6:00am-8:00pm so, please pray for me!
My reward for this week of hard work is…a cruise! Our family reunion cruise departs on Saturday. Thankfully, I am a very organized person and our vacation clothes are already organized and some of them are even already packed. Sunday night hubby and I did the last of our cruise shopping and we are almost ready to float away with our family.
Since I will be on a cruise next week, I will not be co-hosting Turn it Up Tuesday next week. I will have a post up with a link to where you can link up your posts!
It’s time to start the party with us at Turn It Up Tuesday! We had a great week last week, and we’d like to thank each and every one of you for stopping by and enjoying the party! Please keep coming back to share your amazing posts with us here on Turn It Up Tuesday!
Turn It Up Tuesdays is all about being happy, excited, energetic…and having fun! Link up all of your favorite posts (old or new) and meet some awesome bloggers in return! Link up your funny stories, DIY posts, recipes, mommy moments — anything at all. We want to laugh, be entertained, be inspired, and have a good time! Thanks so much to everyone that joins us each week and makes this link party the best that it could be!
