First a BIG thank you to all of the Tennessee Valley for your generosity during the annual Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Labor Day Telethon. Because of your help, we here at Newschannel 19 marked another record year in pledges. For the first time ever, our total topped the three hundred thousand mark. That is fantastic, especially considering the extenuating circumstances of this year's event. Hurricane Gustav for one and the less than good economy for another. Neither kept you from listening to your hearts and generously helping us. Whether you called in a pledge, donated money during any one of the many fund-raisers through-out the year or by volunteering your services, we could not have done it without you. From the bottom of my heart, I salute you and thank you!!!
Second, I hope you saw our segments this morning from Burritt on The Mountain concerning Earthscope. What a neat concept that the Huntsville City Schools have to provide system-wide environmental education for elementary students. I wish these kinds of programs were available when I was in school, but then again, that was so long ago that our classrooms had dirt floors anyway. (Just kidding.) If you don't know about Earthscope, I urge you to find out about it and really support this great educational tool for our children. The program is funded through community partnerships and Huntsville City Schools (grants and such). The more you learn about it, the more you will want to help.
