Takin' it for the UW

Tuesday morning I rose early and worked the corner at 21st and Amidon hawking special edition newspapers. The proceeds from all papers sold goes to support United Way. Above is a poor photograph of my good friend and co-worker, Linda, who was a volunteer at my corner. She was the busiest person on our block and worked it like a professional! We did OK, although not as good as last year. When I got back to The Eagle, I saw our managing editor sitting on the floor counting out what her corner brought in.

Overall, we raised over $21,000 for the cause and that's not too bad for four hours of work.
