PLEASE Answer The Call – Phone Bank Workers Needed For MDA Labor Day Telethon!
For years, members of the A.D. Farrow Co. and Centennial Park H.O.G. Chapters have graciously given a few hours of their time on Labor Day to work the telephones during the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon to benefit MDA, and for this we say THANK YOU! We also hope folks can help out for this year’s event, scheduled for 9 a.m. to Noon, Monday, September 1, at The Blackwell Hotel, 2110 Tuttle Park Place (on the campus of The Ohio State University – motorcycles park right up front!).
