Just so you didn’t think we forgot about the blog during our time off to recharge, your Vice Commander/blogmeister has been following up on details for “Power For The Troops III”.
Our friend Don Giovanni from WINR Radio (680 kHz AM) invited us to appear on his popular Italian Carousel program on December 1 around 10:30 am.
We’ll also call our good “kumotre” Bill Flynn at Cool 100 on Sundays so we can remind those listeners about the drive.
On December 7, we’ll be making an appearance on WIVT-TV/DT (NewsChannel 34) at the Oakdale Mall around 5:30 pm to talk about our third annual battery collection drive to collect “AA” and “AAA” alkaline batteries for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
On December 14, we’ll make an appearance on WBNG-TV/DT (Action News) on the 5 PM segment of Action News to talk again about the same subject.
We are working on an appearance on WNBF Radio’s (1290 kHz AM) “First News” program with Roger Neel, Art Penird and Kathy Whyte. Here’s the link, so you can listen live on Friday, December 14, around 8:20 am:
All of this is to remind people to pick up another pack of “AA” and “AAA” alkaline batteries so they can donate them to be sent to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Alkaline batteries last longer than do batteries marked “heavy duty”. In my real job I can attest to this. When you think about the conditions under which they will be used, and by whom they will be used, it makes sense to get what will hold up and work in those conditions.
The Fairy Godmother Brigade has a bunch of the alkaline batteries that they will donate on December 16. There’s plenty of time for you to get a pack of alkalines for those who stand between you and our enemies. Couple that up with our legendary pancake breakfast buffet…and you have the makings of a great Sunday.

Your blogmeister appeared again on Don Giovanni’s WINR program on 12/8; and again with his good “kumotre”, Bill Flynn on Bill’s Cool 100 program on 12/9. The appearance with Sofia Ojeda at the Mall on News Channel 34 went off as planned. You DO realize that we are looking to collect “AA” and “AAA” alkaline batteries, do you not?
