More Dash Than Cash

Today's chapter is about your material wants and your wallet not matching, but creativity can spark the spirit of your own special gifts to satisfy your soul. Winning extra cash would certainly help that out! Even though it's Easter Sunday, this chapter title reminds me of Christmas and a contest on the radio. Dash for Cash, or Dash for CHRISTMAS Cash! We would jump in the station cruiser and park in front of listeners homes who entered at select locations and told us where and what time they usually listened to the radio. Unfortunately the listening all day "at home" or "at work" entries had to be tossed aside since no address was given! lol We then announced where we were parked and who had entered and they had 10 minutes to come out to the vehicle and collect their prize.


If no one responded, the prize rolled over to the next event and so on. Twice a day, every week day for 10 days announcers were out and about giving away cash for Christmas and what a wonderful response we got to the contest! It was, however, a little creepy sitting in the cruiser, in the dark, with a man just his bathrobe and slippers at 7:30 in the morning. Next time I have to make up the schedule, the guys will be going out first thing in the morning and I'll stick to daylight hours to give away prizing!
