New England is even colder than Philly...Cape Cod, MA here we are!
Another day, another city!!! We woke up this morning in the sunny yet COLD northeast...and headed straight away to the Cape for the Hyannis Telethon, and to visit a few very important supporters of the March of Dimes...
Zeek and Betty's first stop was with Dick Sullivan, local Cape Cod"ian" and 40 year volunteer for the March of Dimes...Dick spent this chilly Sunday hosting the Hyannis Telethon to raise the dollars that help save premature babies. Zeek autographed his card for Dick, and Betty shared the Taylor's story live on a local Cape Cod access station.
This is how it all works...Betty, Zeek, and Dick are chatting live while volunteers are working hard on the phone lines.
We then headed to a local Kmart to accept a check from local store managers on behalf of the March of Dimes...Zeek then received and all to important gift from MA...a Red Sox Jersey, that he wore very proudly the remainder of the day!
Here we are at Filene's Basement, another big supporter of the March of Dimes...after out photo session, Zeek walked around the store and handed out his cards to all the dedicated employees!
He we are at Shaw's Supermarket receiving another check on behalf of the March of Dimes...Shaw's employees raised a whopping $150,620 for the babies!! Go Team Shaw's!!!
Next stop...the beach. You can't come all the way to Cape Cod without at least seeing the beach!
And maybe even experiencing how cold it is...and let me tell you it was getting chillier by the second...
...and then there was the mad dash back to the car...phew, glad we kept it running with the heat on :)
Speaking of a 'whopping check'...our next stop landed us at Burger King to receive yet one more for the day. Keep up the good work!
Leah, the most enthusiastic Burger King employee we met, made Zeek his own name tag and gave him and official Burger King hat he wore proudly until he fell asleep in the car on the way back to the hotel!!!
It was back to the Hyannis Telethon to check in. This interview was a different story...Zeek seems to be VERY comfortable in front of the camera now, and took hold of the interview, but the end, he was asking Dick all the questions. I think Dick has a little competition on his hands!
Oh...and before we left the Alpha Phi Alpha Steppers performed live and made sure they had a chance to meet Zeek and Betty in person. What a day it was...time to rest up for tomorrow!
